We Need More Rainbows

The alternating rainy and sunny weather here in Central Ohio has been such a delight to me. Because I grew up in Phoenix where it rains very little, I love the rain and relish the rainbows. I love taking a walk in the rain and I love sitting outside on the porch as the sun emerges. Rainbows are just a reminder that we need to take time out the day to enjoy a little magic and that we need to seek out the rainbows and magic everyday. Kids intrinsically know to do this. Adults forget it seems. We certainly don't pick up a box of crayons in the middle of the day and draw a rainbow and I think we need more rainbows in our lives. If we look, we can find them… or make them.

    Thanks for these photos. It’s lightening up my day. It’s been raining here in Bali for hours now and I haven’t seen a rainbow in months.

    I’m going to show these photos to my daughter now. Where did you get them? Honestly they are great.

    We do need more rainbows in our lives! I love these photos, permission to save copies? I especially love the colorful chairs and the clothes hanging on the clothesline. (are they organic?)

    This reminds me that I need to get out more often. I work online for an eco-clothing company for women most of the day and the closest I get to rainbows is only in pictures! Seeing these colorful pictures surely brightened up my day! :)

  4. I remember reading a book by Gabrielle Cousens about “The Rainbow Diet.” I still try to get close to a full rainbow everyday. :)
