The rainbows are back



It's like sighting the first snowdrop


or the returning swifts


but trickier.


All elements have to be perfectly present


for the rainbows to appear.


Vigilance is all
because in a blink,
in the merest downward glance
to remove a lens cap,


they dissolve.

  1. What a delightful distraction... like chasing wisps. We have a while to wait before we get to see rainbows in earnest... sigh. ♥

    I must search for my prism.

  5. Lovely!

    I don't know what's in the National Gallery but anything by Vermeer would get my vote.
