I went on a walk early in the morning, just as the sun was rising. It’s always quite a beautiful time of day, but this particular morning was quite spectacular. The sky was pocketed with storm clouds. Not too many that they blocked out the sun, just enough for an occasional light rain and peak of sky. The sun played off of the clouds, creating vibrant colors and dramatic backgrounds. I wished I had my camera with me.

When I got home, I told Joe he should come outside because it was quite pretty. We looked towards the rising sun and enjoyed the view. I turned around to look westward as well and was overwhelmed to see a beautiful rainbow.

I ran and got my camera. I pulled my kids outside to see it. I texted a friend next door. It was the best rainbow I remember seeing. I stayed outside for the next half hour, unwilling to go on with my day.  It was too beautiful to miss.
