There's never a pot of gold around when you need one! I was in the parking lot of an Acme yesterday and the rainbow ends at Friendly's!

How right you are fierpix1979!
(I was also in an Acme parking lot)
As a feeling human it was great to just appreciate seeing what is certainly the most perfect rainbow I've ever witnessed. It was wonderful just to enjoy the magic - and share it with my son.
But as a photographer, it was maddening that in the few moments I saw it, there wasn't any scenery, structures or even other people that I could put under the rainbow for a photo. Plus, the widest lens I had - an 18mm - wasn't adequate enough to capture the entire arc.
At least I had my camera with me. Cheers, TomG

Don't we ALWAYS have our cameras with us? And rainbows are the best example of why- because we just never know when....

I have to so agree with you on the beauty of the rainbow. I don't see the cars just the beauty in the sky.
