Just a quick one I have to write about a most extraordinary thing that I saw a couple of nights ago. Some weather was passing through town one night as part of an early season winter storm, and Sarah & I headed out of the house to pick up dominos pizza in Avon. It was raining lightly and a near full moon was out in the east, and driving away from the moon we suddenly saw this weird line in an arch across the sky, and it took a few seconds before I realized it was a rainbow! I wish I had my camera, it was a full rainbow clear as anything, but with no colour, just a light shade of grey against the night. I could see it was in front of the mountains near me so it was very close coz we were still in the light rain. It must be a super rare, impossible to see from a distance outside the shower like normal rainbows because the light is too faint. I think we only saw it because it was a full moon, lower in the sky with light drizzling rain all around us.
That along with the changing colours of the trees in the fall and the snow we had on the weekend to cover the tops of the hills white again are all the reminder I need to know I'm living in one of the more beautiful places of the world. Bring on the winter.
