Rode a bike up and down my mother's quiet dead-end street at sunset yesterday. There was a brilliant piece of rainbow arching high against the light-filled clouds. It was glorious! I called to my mom to come out & have a look. She loved it!
But it was so ephemeral. Rainbows are like that. For 2-3 minutes the colors were intense and glowing. Then they faded. The rainbow lingered for quite awhile - perhaps a half hour? But for most of the time it was faint and barely noticeable. But those 2-3 minutes of glory made my heart sing!
Sunset yesterday (Feb 27 2015) was so beautiful. The sky was full of clouds - the whole day had been rather grey. But these clouds glowed rose-gold against an opaque powder blue-violet. Sometimes the color was there for a minute or two. There was a smooth blanket of clouds enveloping the Ko'olaus, with more high level clouds above. The smooth blanket glowed faintly and subtly with that beautiful rose-gold for just a minute or so, but it so beautiful while it lasted.
Other clouds captured that rose-gold or even shone straight-out golden in the sunset.
