The return of the rainbow

We are away for a couple of weeks from Monday morning and so it was left to my son to order in the food he would require whilst fending for himself. This morning I took delivery of his order whilst he was at the gym. This afternoon, I found myself trecking to the supermarket in order to buy milk, and something to cook for us together tomorrow since both these things had been overlooked.

I was happy to do so because I needed to hunt down a picture for the day. I was pondering a weekend of black and white to clear the palette ready for our new adventure. Nothing was attracting my attention other than the looming dark clouds, and sure enough the rain started to fall. The rainbow took me by surprise, a small fragment of the arc just peeping out between the trees. I thought the colours were so clearly lined up to match the month view for March which I am posting in my other album, that I had to abandon my black and white plan. It was too wet to continue the search anyway.

Rainbows here today and my goodness, some heavy April showers already. It seems apt that at the end of the challenge you capture a rainbow and this is a stunner.

Enjoy your travels.

[Junko Y]

What a lovely surprise to have found -- and your capture is like chalk-painting!

[Babs]

Beautiful, you have captured the complete spectrum so well.

[Jenfurj]

The soft and subtle lighting is beautiful.
Enjoy you few days away.

[Taffy]

Gorgeous soft colors in the sky really set the bare branches off well.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Beautiful!

I like how you have filled most of the frame with the rainbow.

[Gayle]

A soft and beautiful rainbow . . . so lovely. I hope you enjoy your weeks away. :-)

[Lockarec]

The color beautifully contrasts the starkness of the branches. I think you made a wise and very artistic choice

I had to work hard to cut out the street lights and McDonalds etc - we don't have the best of views from where I live. Thank you everyone!

[Jorlam]

@helenhall Ah, but you make the best of the views which you do have.. That, is good photography..

What a perfect image to complete the rainbow month Helen.

This is a beautifully subtle rainbow sky Helen, just lovely! I've been behind but at your text I thought to look at your March calendar and I can't believe you've created such a beautiful monthly view! It's a difficult thing to do I think...
