Rain poured from the skies, Florida’s version of a tsunami, as we dashed from our car and then splashed through ankle-deep water at the threshold of the restaurant. By the time we finished dinner, the rain had abated, leaving this rainbow as a consolation prize for our soggy shoes. The rain was gone for theContinue reading “Calm Between Storms”

The Color of Life
Prismatic glass, illuminated by the Sun’s rising rays, painted light’s true colors across the bathroom wall. The rainbow of colors that we see around us emerges from so-called white light. Look closely for the colors which are everywhere; they make life all the more beautiful. #coloroflife #colors #spectrum #rainbow #light #life
Sunshine After Rain
Rain and wind buffeted the trees and streets as an atmospheric river poured over the Pacific Northwest. Finally gaps in the “streams” allowed fingers of sunlight through to paint this rainbow. It was a welcome sign; I was beginning to wonder when the animals would start pairing up to look for Noah. #rainbow #rain #atmosphericriverContinue reading “Sunshine After Rain”
Regarding Rainbows and Telescopes
Yesterday morning I set up the telescopes for the usual morning solar viewing and imaging. Clouds dominated the sky, but there was a small gap in clouds to the east, just enough to see the sun well. Paying little attention to the rest of the sky, I did the usual sunspot count and managed toContinue reading “Regarding Rainbows and Telescopes”
Racing Rainbows
We had enjoyed a late-afternoon boat cruise through canals and waterways around Henderson Lake in Florida, while skirting rain squalls here and there as noted in yesterday’s post (https://eskildoodle.com/2024/06/17/storming-the-sunset/). After turning around to return, someone noticed a stormy-looking cloud to the northeast and wondered aloud if it was headed our way. A check of theContinue reading “Racing Rainbows”
Spectral Sprite
A sliver of sun pierced through tree branches and careened through a beveled window corner which split the beam into its full range of colors. Instantly the prismatic glass showered its rainbow of light to paint this spectrum on the wall, It hovered a few moments and then quickly faded from view; a momentary, colorfulContinue reading “Spectral Sprite”
Here’s Your Sign!
We set our on our walk this morning, confident that the rain was over. Winds whipped the fallen leaves about, and a stray twig came twirling down by our feet as we rounded a bend about half a mile from home. Perhaps we should have payed more attention to the weather sprites. About a mileContinue reading “Here’s Your Sign!”
Colorful Conundrum
The winter sun is slowly shifting northward again and in the process produces curious late afternoon light shows that vary daily. Its setting rays recently passed through the windows and through a pane of glass that painted this rainbow on the doorway. With a little effort I might have been able to identify the sourceContinue reading “Colorful Conundrum”
Hawaiian Kindness
While practicing Hawaiian language lessons on Duolingo, I ran across this phrase which translates into: “Let’s be kind.” If any time ever called for kindness, it is now, and I just had to make this poster. Mahalo! Photo taken of rainbow over Lahina on Maui in 2015. #kindness #rainbow #lahaina #maui © Eskildoodle 2022
Just What You Don’t Want To See
Ordinarily a rainbow is a delight to see, but not when we are on our morning walk and more than a mile from home. Where there are bows, there is rain, and we were on foot. Fortunately, the rain was light and we quickly dried out, but the beauty of the rainbow lingers in ourContinue reading “Just What You Don’t Want To See”
