A rainbow... which almost finished at our house!

On Sunday, I took my daughter to a birthday party for one of her friends. She had the time of her life, playing all sorts of old-fashioned party-games and eating a lot of cake and sweets. So the park that we passed as we walked home seemed like a natural detour, to let her run off all her sugar-fuelled energy.

The sun was shining brightly, but quite low on one side of the sky and it cast a greeny-golden autumn light over everything. Always an optimist when it comes to the weather (have you noticed how frequently the forecasters get it wrong) I ignored the other side of the sky which was a dark greyish charcoal colour. Definitely the colour of rain. Serious rain! Surely it would pass us by?


In the end it didn't, but what a wonderful thing that turned out to be. The rainbow sadly stopped a road or so away from our house. Ah well... there's always next week's lottery!


And one more! Just because I've never photographed a rainbow before and it was all quite exciting!
