The Upside Down Rainbow

It’s the last day of the month; and, while autumn is still officially three weeks or so away, there’s a sense that summer is ending.

Another week and then the children will return to school. We’ll fall into routines, old and new….start looking towards longer nights, turning leaves, cosy fires.

Spring was so gorgeous this year; summer so dismal. And yet….did wishing bring it about? The final day of August has been one of the loveliest days of the year. A true, blue sky day. Topped off - most remarkably - by an upside down rainbow. Not on the horizon - but far above the earth where the clouds pass by.

Of all the rainbows we’ve had recently, this was the most special. There’d been no rain all day - just sunshine and warmth. Then suddenly, hanging from the heavens, this arc of light.

That has to be an omen of good things to come.

oh so well done for spotting this AND getting such a great shot. I have been looking for the 'Rainbow Smile' since I saw a photo of it in a newspaper last year...no luck yet.
So glad you've seen one and thank you for sharing.
Good things coming....

WOW... I've not seen a rainbow smile like that before... Mother Nature working her magic! A good omen... must bet! Hope it is a blessing upon you, Helen :o) ((HUGS))

This is a brilliant photo - you were so lucky to catch it. There was an explanation for this phenomenon on a recent weather forecast but I'm afraid I wasn't paying much attention to it. I wish I had now!
