HOPE

Symbolic Meanings of Rainbows - a Quick List:
• Life
• Hope
• Divinity
• Promise
• Creation
• Initiation
• Potential
• Provision
• Harmony
• Expansion
• Ascension
• Spirituality
• Connection
• Transformation
My choice is 'Hope' - hope for a better future for all mankind.
Took this shot last Sunday morning while walking along the seafront promenade. It was partly sunny at the time because it started raining later in the day. It has been quite some time since I managed to take a rainbow shot.

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.

'Did you see the paper?' asked Gallagher. 'They say I died!!'

'Yes, I saw it!' replied Finney. 'Where are ye callin' from?'
Thank you very much for looking and for the lovely comments on yesterday's picture.
