There is nothing as fleeting as a rainbow, I find. It appears in the sky unexpectedly and, before you know it, the sky is once again blue and white. The last rainbow I saw, and managed to capture, was during our trip to Mauritius. We were driving in the car when my children suddenly called our attention to it.
We looked out and saw it faintly hovering over the land. It seemed almost hidden at times:
We enjoyed our brief glimpse of this natural gem. Once it had disappeared from the sky, we turned our thoughts to other activities.
Do you often get to see rainbows?

I was lucky to get this one. As you can see in the second photo, it did not last very long.

Rainbows are fleeting; funny how they can almost fade away, come back a bit brighter, then be gone. Great entry.

Thank you Angeline. With them fading so quickly I am not surprised no-one can find that pot of gold that should be at its end.

A rainbow is like a miracle in plain sight. It never fails to leave me in awe. And I tend to stop what I’m doing instantly. Not too good when you’re driving a car en? 😉
Great choice for the challenge, Colline! 🙂

We were quite excited when we saw this too. Living in a built-up city, we do not get to see one as clearly as this.

The weird thing was it had not rained before we saw this rainbow. Just goes to show how much moisture was in the air.
