Rainbow outside

Japan
July 26, 2020 3:28am CST
I was inside listening to the rain when I became aware that once again, I could see sun coming through my windows. But, also, I could hear a fairly strong rain. So of course I tried to see a rainbow. I looked out the windows but mostly I can see other houses. So I took a walk (with umbrella) down the street to where I could see the sky. By the time I got there it was pale because the sun was starting to go away again, but I could see it! It was pretty close to the top of the trees so I couldn't have seen it from my house. I looked at it as I walked and in a couple of minutes it had faded completely. But then I had a nice energetic walk and I feel great! When did you last see a rainbow? My favorite time was when visiting Sakurajima, a volcano in a bay, and after a day of rain there was a rainbow above the volcano.

Come to think of it, yeah, it's been a long time since I had last seen a rainbow. Incidentally it is raining now although mild only.

It is a totally foreign concept for me to think about having to go outside to see a rainbow. But I'm glad you go to see one.

You can see them from your window? How nice. I can sometimes, but usually the other houses block my view.

I forget when. I having dry season here. If it does rain now, it will usually rain at night or very early in the morning. so I'll wait for September to come see it again.

That's interesting. Here I don't associate September with rainbows.
