When was the last time you saw a rainbow?

Asked by gravity (3116points) July 15th, 2011

Do you have a rainbow memory that made a lasting impression? Is so, share it if you will, pretty please. I saw a bright but short and straight acros the sky rainbow today on the way home and it was brilliantly beautiful!

I saw a double rainbow about two weeks ago.

I did see a full circle double rainbow just south of St. Louis last October
(you can only see a full circle from a plane)

I love looking at rainbows. If we are driving when one comes up, we pull over to the side and look at it. I tried taking some pictures of a rainbow we saw while we were sitting in a restaurant in Santa Cruz last year.

My grandson loves making rainbows in the sprinkler, which happens every time he turns it on.

The oddest story I have about a rainbow: One day I was walking to work, feeling really sad, when I looked up and saw a beautiful rainbow. While I was gazing at it, I fell off the curb and sprained my ankle really bad.

The last time I saw a rainbow was today, It was in a fishtank at a bar near my hotel.

The one I remember the most, was the first time I saw a full rainbow. I was about 8 and out on excursion with the school.

I’ve seen some amazing ones over the years, but, I can make my own too!
I like to water my yard in the evening and the way the sun filters through the trees I can mist the sunbeams with the hose nozzle and viola…rainbows appear! :-D

Two rainbows about 6 months ago! I couldn’t believe that could happen. I wish to see one hundred rainbows next time!

@DrBill…Wow. Long time no see! A full circle rainbow? That must be something just beyond awesome!
Last rainbow I saw was the other day, when my grandkids were playing in the hose. I could see them laughing behind it. Just beautiful.

Wait…one that stands out. Well, just feeling overwhelmed and hopeless and helpless…and I looked up and saw a rainbow and the healing started.

The last time I remember seeing a full fledged rainbow was roughly two and a half years ago. I don’t see what people find so beautiful or fascinating about them.

The last one that stands out in mind was on my way home from work. It seemed to end somewhere near my house, but the closer I got, the rascally devil moved away. Despite chasing it for a bit, I never did find that pot of gold.

There was a double rainbow in NYC on Wednesday.

Last week, out over eastern San Diego County- a beautiful double rainbow. What a rarity in July! I was thinking “There must be some pretty good thunderstorms in the mountains right now.”

I see them in nasty, murky puddles of street water all the time. Also once, in this really bad coffee I had.

But as for real rainbows, I’ve seen two at the same time once. That was awesome.

I learned in school that all I needed to create a rainbow is water and some sunlight. When I learned it i figured it out I can create my own rainbows whenever I want to see them. Refraction is easy to create ^^
