This morning, my kids and I were out delivering the morning paper. it ws raining, but the sun was shining just enough. I told my daughter that the sooner we got finished, the sooner we could stop and look for the rainbow. She questioned me about rainbows for a minute before looking up and spotting it herself. Her eyes were wide with amazement, I am not sure if it was because she spotted it or if it was because she found that I was right about there being one at that time. Either way, it was nice to see a rainbow in the sky that early in the morning.

Hello, the last time I saw a rainbow was on thursday. We were playing tourist and was at the Space Needle outside standing in line for purchasing tickets to go up to the observation deck. It was lightly raining and the sun was trying to break through the clouds and we spotted a rainbow while standing in line.It was in the early afternoon on thursday.

It must have been about four weeks ago when I last saw one we were on our way on holiday and we were going up a mountain road in the car when all of a sudden it absolutely poured down it was that heavy that you could only see about an inch or so in front of you. All of a sudden it cleared up and there in the distance was two rainbows next to each other. Unfortunately the children who would have love seeing them were all asleep in the back.

I saw one a few weeks ago as I was returning from visiting my dad, who was pretty ill at the time. I was feeling so sad and then saw that rainbow. Rainbows are encouraging--I know they're just sunlight reacting to moisture but every time I see one, good things happen so they are encouraging. My dad is 100% better now and up and about! I love seeing rainbows and always think back to the story of Noah. Rainbows are such happy sights!

I saw rainbow about a week ago when it rained, it was beautiful and it did touch both parts of the ground. It is cool how rainbows are made. It is just beautiful work of God.

Wow. I really can't remember when the last rainbow I saw was. I loved living in Arizona because we saw rainbows most of the summer. They just seem to add a over all good feeling to the day don't they?

I haven't seen a rainbow in a very long time. I don't think I've ever seen one in the sky, but I usually see small ones when I was a car or spray water on plants outside.

we saw one with a bout end (which means we could see both ends of the rainbow just a couple of months ago. my daughter grabbed her camera and took some shots of it (she is 12 and love to take pictures.) the rainbow was pretty but only lasted for a few minutes.

aww - what a great story! I bet that made your daughter's day!:-)
The last time I saw a rainbow was in June while I was on my honeymoon! My husband and I had been driving through some crazy heavy rain and then all of a sudden it just stopped and the sun peeked out and there it was - a beautiful rainbow! I'm going to try to find a picture that I took of it to attach to this response.:-)
Found the picture! Look above the sign to see the rainbow :-)

I remember seeing a rainbow early in the morning about 15 days ago, the sun had risen and it was raining too, I just came out to enjoy the rains and I saw the rainbow a lovely sight to see in the morning, I felt the bow was almost touching a small hill behind our house. A wonderful sight indeed.
