Last night we took a walk along our country road, as we always do. It was well past sunset and everything was black and silver. The moon was rising behind us, full and bright, just riding clear of a big black cloud. There was light rain in our faces as we walked West with the moon behind our shoulders.
Then I spotted a RAINBOW!
We just stopped and stared. Held hands tightly. That 'we can't be allowed to see this and live' feeling came over us both.
The colours were pale but quite distinct. True-Love, who is red/green colour blind saw it as whiteish. We were completely alone out there. Just me and True-Love a barn owl, a few possums, a couple of bats, a thousand or so sheep, and some cows. Nobody to share our Moonbow.
Back home, in the cold light of the computer screen, I found the explainations and the pictures people have taken of Lunar Rainbows.
Still and all, they're rare and we feel special. Cheers, Joy
