My first 365 rainbow

Walking Ruby tonight, I only had my mobile phone to capture a very little rainbow on St. Marys Recreation park.

Well it may only be little....... but it is my first 365 rainbow ....and yes it rained.... and yes I got wet..... and yes I had no coat !!!

I'm stood in the football 12 yard box (you can just about see the markings on the grass) and the goal posts have been taken down for the summer.

Standing in the 12 yard box...some football /soccer fans might say that is 'goal hanging'....not putting the effort in to score a goal !!! Maybe I did not put the effort in for todays 365 !!!

[WB]

Yeah this works for me too - like it!

[Anita]

I think this is charming

[Kerri]

Beautiful!! I love rainbows

[peter/zipp]

..typically English suburban feel..
this could be sad or a happy image, i think it depends on your mood at the time.

[Juliette Packham]

great shot - agree with Zipp, typically english feel...houses at the side of the playing field, man getting wet whilst walking dog! great sky and noce rainbow. Great shot Phil

[Judith Greenwood]

Yeah - stormy sky - wet photographer - must be nearly summer!

[Brenda G]

Great shot-love the rainbow!

[Sarah Horsfall]

I've been hoping to capture a rainbow ever since I started 365, but have yet to see one, never mind take a photo of it! Glad you caught this one, and sorry to hear you got caught in the rain in the process! :o)

[Frances Chaloner]

oh I love it - and the houses and green of the pitch. The sky is that fab grey colour of storms. No rain here in Big Smoke.

[Constance Brinkley]

Great first rainbow capture. The shot works for me!

[Meredith Butterfield]

A rainbow is always a good sign. :) Sorry you got wet but who went out walking unprepared for the weather? LOL. I am sure Ruby appreciated the walk and your 365 fans appreciate the photo!

[Sue Beatty]

Great shot. It reminds me of where I grew up - a housing estate in Cumbria. Love it.

[Pat Knowles]

Love this picture & love the fact you had your phone & just took an instant picture when you saw an opportunity !! Everyday life !!

[Tashy]

Sweet pic.

[Rona]

The lighting is perfect!

[Cherrill]

Thanks for your comment on my rainbow, I think any photo of a rainbow is magic...it's such an ethereal thing. Someone was quick in whipping down those goal posts.............have to be jumpers for now on! Sunday afternoon was exciting wasn't it???

[Phil Howcroft]

@patsyjphillips thanks Patsy :) much appreciated

[Phil Howcroft]

@Cherrill ha ha cherrill jumpers for goal posts, i remember fondly doing that and arguing if the ball went in or out, yes it was an exciting finale to the season, I wanted Blackpool to stay up !

[Phil Howcroft]

@ronah thank you Rona

[Phil Howcroft]

@tashy thanks tashy, :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat Pat, sometimes everyday pics are the best, thanks for your support

[Sue Wilde]

I absolutely do not believe that this is a camera phone. The clarity is amazing.

[Phil Howcroft]

@swilde Sue some of the mobile phones can take excellent images if the light is good :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@sueb sue, glad my image made you remember your youth :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@meredithwb Ha Ha Meredith, maybe the picture was worth getting wet for :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@seattle cheers Constance, it works for me too :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@whippeteer Frances, yes a bit of urban life in the midlands :) a simple but fairly effective scene

[Phil Howcroft]

@guifam thanks Brenda :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@sarahhorsfall sarah, i'm sure u will find a rainbow :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@judithg Judith we are meant to be getting a summer which generates 'phew what a scorcher' newspaper headlines :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@sparkle thank you Juliette, it's the light that makes the shot, although I think the sky would benefit from your HDR technique :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@sleepdozer57 Peter, happy image I think :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@kerristephens thank you kerri :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@anron Ha Ha Anita...'charming Arnold' :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@waynetbrown thanks Wayne :)

[Anita]

Oh yeah, when you put it like THAT pffft! haha!

[Allison Williams]

You got my vote for a fav for beauty, rarity and perseverance!

[Phil Howcroft]

@allie912 Allison, thank you for the fave and your choice of words ...'perseverance'...sums up what we have to do on the days when our 365 becomes a chore and we can be uninspired.
