Beautiful Sunday Rainbows in Panama

in nature •  7 years ago 

This afternoon we enjoyed a preview of rainy season. There was a nice soaking rain which will help green up some of the areas that have turned brown. This rain also brought with it some great clouds and a few rainbows.

This rainbow showed up first and then completed faded away. When it returned, it wanted to make its presence known. It was much wider and much brighter than it originally was, however it was in the same spot.

It is amazing how beautiful these rainbows are and how I want to take a picture of each one, even though I have seen at least 50 of them at this point! So beautiful!



Last night we were able to celebrate some friends' birthdays at another friend's house. It was a lot of fun to roast marshmallows on the bonfire they made for everyone. We had marshmallows smashed between 2 chocolate chip cookies. It was yummy (Chokis brand from Mexico - my favorite)!! You would be surprised how much heat this fire put off.

I like the bonfire, and really want a cookie smore now! That sounds delicious and, somehow, even more delightfully unhealthy!

Because of my eyes, I rarely see rainbows. I like the photos. Is the speck in #2 a bird?

The cookie smores were really good! Using my favorite cookie helped as well. Yes, I didn't even notice the speck. I zoomed in and looks like it was a vulture. My kids had said there were a lot out that day and grabbed my phone to take a pic. Looks like I caught one too. We always have a lot of them here. Good eye.

Oooh, vultures are interesting. Not the prettiest birds, but interesting to watch. They weren't circling overhead like in the cowboy movies, I hope!

I always love seeing a rainbow. For me, rainbows represents hope and life.

My kiddoes mentioned how the grass in our yard starting greening up. We were at near drought levels and 2 straight days of rain brought plants back to life.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice to have some rain after a drought! I can understand that feeling. I agree that rainbows represent home and life...and a promise. :)

Love it @apanamamama! You guys are still living the dream!! Good for you! Long live Panama!

Viva Panama! :)

You sure had an amazing time with people you know roasting marshmallows and talking = ) The rainbows are an amazing thing. I don't see them very often but when I do I always admire them because it looks really pretty.

Thank you for contributing to the Steemit Community.Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to your next posts.

Great shots! I miss those beautiful rainbows! I have not seen one in almost one year. In Boquete I used to see them daily.

Thanks! Yeah, I really like them. They're nice to see out. I have heard they have them a lot in Boquete!! :)

During the rainy season I saw a rainbow almost each day.

I think would have been nicer with the sun rays come through a bit more in this first shot

Ah nice. I just grabbed what I could get before it faded away. :)

That is a BIG fire! And some gorgeous rainbows. Lovely. :)

Yes, it got to be about 15 feet high or so. It was HOT!!

I love how rainbows make you feel after seeing them. Doesn't matter if it is your first or 50th it still has that power to leave you at awe.

That is so true! :)

Beautiful pictures! I love the Panama's rainbows. Get ready, the rainy season is almost here ;)

I know! I'm looking forward to these winds going away. I enjoy the afternoon rains. :)

You get to see a lot of awesome bows there! I captured and posted about some cool double bows I saw last week

Nice, I will have to check it out! Thanks for letting me know. :)

Love a good BBQ marshmallow :) Those rainbows were beautiful too, I always smile when I see one. Makes my day!

Yes, they do tend to make ones day! It's pretty amazing. We see them a lot now. Didn't ever really used to see them in Texas.

Dangit, now I want marshmallows. I like mine burnt to a crisp!

Lol - I don't like mine burned. I like them just barely even warm. :) I only ate one, sadly. One of my sons had 4. That's 8 cookies!! Lol

I super love rainbow so I can't help but to upvote this one. It always remind me of good things going to happen.😍

Thanks! It was a great day and rainbow.

I love rainbows. They always give me a sense of being fortunate to be alive, and to live on this place. They mean hope.

Yes, they are cool to see. Someone else above said they mean hope to them as well. :)

Yes, i know. I could not think of a better symbol for hope. :)

Rainbows are so amazing, the colors, the sun after the storm, just so glorious!
