ReplyDeleteThose are lovely pics! Now we're getting some good sunny days here in the northwest. :)
ReplyDeleteNeither is in Seattle. They were both taken during our trip to Ecuador on separate occasions. The first was just North of the city where we went swimming in a river one day and the other was outside the house one evening. It was still sort of raining and the sun was sort of peaking out and VOILA!!!!! Rainbow!

Enjoy!
