Gert called out to me that there was a lovely rainbow.  I immediately got up, grabbed my camera and GPS, and walked outside to take in the sight.

Now all that may sound like I was awaiting an opportunity to log this.  Truthfully, that was not the case.  I had forgotten about this hunt.  I am in the mode right now of documenting just about anything.  It’s been an interesting month doing that, but extremely time consuming.

Anyhow, I took my shots, did the nod of glee, and filed these photographs onto a back-up.

Just now I was poring over the plethora of scavenger hunts to do and trying to provide some organization to the list when I came to this one.  D’oh!

So, down to the basement and trying to figure out which were the recent back-ups.  See some water near the air conditioner.  Sigh . . . not certain if I have the correct archives,  come back up and start looking through things.  It appears I am missing a week from mid-June.  I just know that is where the rainbows shots are.  After some time, I actually find these.  :)

Rainbows make me think of a specific Dead show I attended in 1987 at the Spectrum in Philly.  We were there early and the heavens just opened up.  Craig and I took shelter in his ‘78 Monte Carlo.  Two folks we didn’t came in to stay dry as well.  The rust-colored vehicle was pelted with rain for about 45 minutes.  Once the storm ended the sun lighted the sky and out came a most wonderful rainbow.

Then something that I haven’t forgotten occurred.  The thousand or so folks in the parking lot began to applaud.  That’s right, the rainbow earned a standing ovation.  I always thought that was pretty neat.
