Chasing the Rainbow!

Quite a sight we saw today!

My daughter and I were headed home and right before our eyes was a mini-storm with snow and rain clouds racing around.  The clouds were really low and we could see the wind blowing them and pushing them along - right into this beautiful winter rainbow!

Laura asked if we could keep driving ahead instead of turning off down our road, so we did.  We pulled over to try to get some pictures but it was so cold and windy outside.  It's hard to see in the pictures how swirly the clouds were, but the way they were in real life was pretty neat!

 We were so close to the end of the rainbow!
 "Wouldn't it be so cool if there was really a pot of gold at the end.  The gold would be right there in the field!"

It turns out that the pictures we took from inside the car came out better anyways. I guess the tinted glass of the windshield gave things more contrast...I like it!
We kept driving but didn't end up with any better shots.

We did get an entirely different view of the day from up at my sister's house.  Pretty wintery isn't it with all those slanty trees blowing in the wind. These next two pictures were taken by my daughter and I think they turned out really well.

Stay warm, keep bundled, Miss Spring Must be around here somewhere!!!  :)
