Hello sineen1981........ Rainbows are not everywhere after a rainstorm. In order for a rainbow to form, sunlight has to reflect off of water droplets in the air at an angle of roughly 23+1/2 degrees.

Rainbows do not appear after a rainstorm. They are seen while it's still raining..

I think rainbows are awesome as well...Last year we'd had a slight spring rain and when I opened out door to go to town with CJ, there was the most beautiful one I had ever seen. I It was CJ's first rainbow and it was as if God had created it just for him. It was sooo big. You know the old saying, 'every color of the rainbow?' Well, we saw colors I'd never seen in a rainbow before. It was like we could almost touch it, that was how close and big it was. I said to CJ, "Look, it's a rainbow!" He didn't know what to think...lol

I too love rainbows, we get to see a lot of them in the summer time. You usually see them just after it has rained and the sun comes out - it's the sunshine shining through the rain that causes them. I had a bunch of pictures of rainbows but they were on my old computer that crashed.
