Beauty from your own yard


There is nothing that says you have to travel to see something beautiful.

As my husband and 3 kids were getting ready to leave for church my oldest said to me, you want to come out and take a picture of this rainbow?

It was bright and sunny out, yes the cars were a little wet from dew, but it didn't rain, but there was, I guess, enough moisture in the air for a rainbow to appear. Since it was early, before 8am, the sun was still low enough and when you looked at the rainbow, small as it was, it was upside down.

But still very pretty.

The thing about rainbows is they can change so rapidly, and disappear just as fast as they appear. This one was no different, I managed to get a few shots, but it was gone in a matter of minutes.

Rainbows as hard as they are to capture in images are one of my favorite things in this world. They remind us of the promise of God that He would never destroy the earth through flooding again.

As I looked at the rainbow today, I couldn't help but think about the 'fairy tale' that there was a pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow. With this one being upside down, one could call it a symbol of the treasure that awaits us in heaven.

Until next time
God Bless.
