Follow the curve of the rainbow to see where it met the ground between the treeline and the field shelter.
This rainbow appeared following a late afternoon "sun" shower. You know the kind, when the sun is shining brightly and the sky is blue, then suddenly there is a downpour. As kids it was the only time my mother would let us play outside while it was raining.
The following morning was foggy. Very foggy. The treeline was just a darker shade of gray, but it was amazing what became visible due to the fog:
These webs were everywhere attached to blades of grass in the more than 10 acre pasture. This is the same pasture as the rainbow photo and looking in the same area. The grass is more than waist high.
This huge web appeared outside the bedroom window of our motor-home. I looked through that window each morning upon awakening and never saw it until this foggy morning. It became less and less visible as the sunlight grew and the fog faded.
I wondered out loud to Nick, "Does the rainbow ending here, in the middle of the farm, mean that this is our pot of gold?"
Nick didn't reply, but he did slightly tilt his head and give me one of those strange looks that is accompanied by a small grin and twinkle in his eye.
