Chasing Rainbows

“Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”
– Lyman Frank  Baum

Call it the luck o’ the Irish, but I’ve had the good fortune to capture a few beautiful rainbows in photos on my small-ship cruises and travel expeditions. See for yourself . . .

    Oh these are so cool! The reason I wanted my first camera was for taking rainbows! Brings back memories.

      It pays to be Irish, Beth! When I was a kid, I used to beg my parents to keep driving until we found the pot of gold at the end of any rainbow we saw :-).

    You know…I actually flew through a rainbow and broke it into pieces. Let me tell you how this happened. My husband and I were flying with Norm Dove (owner of Echo Valley Ranch in B.C.) in his little Dehavilland Beaver when he saw a rainbow. As he flew toward it, it didn’t recede like rainbows always have (in my experience, at least). it got bigger and bigger until we were flying through it and it broke up into colorful fragments which gradually formed back into a rainbow arch behind us. I’m sure a scientist could explain this but to me it seemed magical.

    I especially love the one from Ecuador! When I lived in Hawaii I used to see many rainbows. I really treasured them, especially when I saw a double one.

      Me, too, Lisa – I love the rainbow photo shot in Ecuador! Double rainbows must mean double good fortune :-). Thanks for stopping by ~
