I stood and faced in the opposite direction, taking a photo of a hungry and screaming young raptor bird on a roof, and when I turned around, I saw this beauty.
It was indeed a lovely and beautiful surprise that made me feel so happy.
Of course, this was not all to see as the skies played out like I was in a movie house later on. The rainbow and the rolling clouds came in from the eastern side over the mountains and the sun was busy setting on the western side over the ocean. I wanted so much to get on the roof to get a shot of the rainbow above the mountains, but I could not dodge my wife, as she would scream blue murder if I touched the step ladder :)
Come and see.
Almost a double rainbow, but not to be this time.
The last piece of the rainbow as the clouds started rolling in.
All white at the ocean side where the sun was going down.
This was the young raptor bird, a Harrier Hawk that I was focused on before I turned around to see the rainbow.
I could even get him taking off in the bad light.
The western side started to color.
And the clouds coming over from the east towards the west made for a great show.
The dove sat in the light sunlight singing a love song to some unseen lady.
A geese family on the way home.
And then things started getting darker.
You can see the wind at work on this cloud.
Everything started greying in the sky as the evening started.
So, I took you on a series of sky shots journey to show you the lovely process of nightfall in our area. Similar to life, some days are drab and other days are lovely. Today was a great experience, especially with that unannounced rainbow appearance and also the colors in the sky.
Life has many surprises and it often catches us offside with both good and bad events, but we learn to appreciate the good ones, as they balance out the bad ones. It's a process that we all have to go through as the sky in here today so clearly demonstrates to us.
I think about the rainy days as the bad days in our lives, and the storms remind me of the intensity of the bad.
Then the beautiful days remind me about all of the happy days when everything turns our great. Then a rainbow reminds me about those very special days. Just my way of looking at things.
And now, the time has arrived for a powercut, and I am out of here!
I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.
And That's All Friends.
