The Beauty of Nature - Rainbow

When there is rain and there is sun, it is a sign that we should tilt our head upwards and look around for rainbows. Ever seen one? Am sure everyone has seen it at least once, a big one, a small one, a complete one, a small arc, any variety at all, we come across them every once in a while. Ping and Lin saw one just a week ago when we went to Walmart. It was a complete one but neither of us had our camera at that time so we could only enjoy the pretty view.

We were talking about that incident in the car today on our way home from Kalamazoo (yeap, went to Rasa Ria for dinner - we were so desperate for M'sian food we ordered almost all their M'sian dishes). May was telling us about her rainbow experience at Disney and then she turned out towards the window and suddenly shouted 'ahhh!'. Ping and Lin was looking for some animal that ran by when May finally found a way out of her excitement to tell us about the rainbow that was creating a lovely spectrum in the sky. Wow! This is the FIRST time Ping see such a lovely rainbow - wait, there was actually two, the larger one is lighter.
Ping was very thankful she wasn't the driver because now she can just enjoy looking at the rainbow. Tai lou was very nice to exit the highway and stopped by a roadside for us to take pictures of it. It was just lovely that we kept looking at it. The above is a panaromic stitch of photos Ping took from that first stop (not very smooth, but Ping is not sure how to rotate it to fit properly). There is actually two but the second was too light to be captured with Ping's setting at that time. Isn't it lovely?























After a bunch of photos, we got back on to the highway and we were still looking at the rainbow and realized that it was getting more apparent (gotta learn how to capture and edit panaromic shots better...the lighting is not right at all). So ngam, tai lou need to get gas so we exited the highway again into a gas station and of course, more photos!!!
That's the best rainbow Ping have seen!!! At the gas station, we were even lucky enough to see a rare supernumerary rainbow!!! Isn't nature wonderful? Something that is so amazing that can bring a smile to all our faces...it is all about Mother Nature. The more reason we should protect our environment!!!
