WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
Recently there has been ample “rainbow weather.” Rainbow weather seems to occur when sunlight shines through scattered water droplets or mist. I didn’t catch it on camera, but I saw the largest rainbow I have ever seen last weekend. It was so large, it gathered bystanders who eagerly snapped away photos. Then, 2 days ago while taking my 2-year-old son for a walk, I pointed out a rainbow stretching directly over the house. Since his older sister is obsessed with unicorns, he whispered, “thatsa unicorn rainbow.” Rainbows are beautiful, but I believe another reason why they’re so special is that you never know when, how, or where they’ll pop up next, and just like that, they’re gone.
