Refraction..!

I was fascinated to see "rainbows" when I was watering plants.

I didn't realise that sunlight has to strike water droplets at precisely 42 degrees to create this effect!

Homemade rainbows - how cool. 42deg - that's fascinating!

@robz I learnt something today! I had to keep moving to see the effect so I suppose I had to be 42 degrees to the light source hitting the water droplets 😁

I didn't know that! Now where did I leave my protractor........?
Lovely result :)
