Rainbows

 Photos of rainbows over the island yesterday after a few hours of short sharp showers with intervals of sunshine. 

Instagram and Facebook filled up with photos taken by locals. 

The colours were extraordinarily bright and sharp. 


Here are some taken by daughters and granddaughter.

  1. There is something about a rainbow that captures the imagination.
    My friend says that every time she sees one, she feels that it is her youngest daughter (who died aged 7) saying hello.

  2. Oh I love a double rainbow. When I see one, rarely, I go wild about it.

  3. We drove through two 🌈 a few years ago. We didn't find any pots of gold left by the Leprechauns though.

    1. One of them seemed so close I almost felt we could find that pot of gold. Those leprechauns have their gold well hidden.

    1. It's the first time I've ever seen them so clearly. Lovely

  7. It always fascinates me that the sky is lighter in colour beneath the rainbow than above. Someone did once explain why, but I've forgotten.

  9. Spectacular rainbows, and doubles with that! Poros must be flooded with pots of gold. We could do with the rainbow promise here (no more flooding) as we are getting a bit fed up with being rained on.
