Sky Watching on Friday - Somewhere over the Rainbow...!

Coming back from town earlier, saw me caught out in an unexpected storm that even had thunder rumbling around.
Then, with the rain still falling, the sun peaked out from behind the blackest of clouds.
This was the wonderful result that's made my day... I no longer cared that I was drenched from head to toe as I scrambled to take this photograph!
It is only, my third ever successful rainbow capture & ironically, it's nearly in the same location as my first, ie looking down my road, as I arrived home.

Naturally, the Judy Garland song from 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz' is now running through my head like crazy!
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?.

Will just have to go search out a YouTube clip!
And, if I could find that 'pot of gold' too, I'd have life aced.

The colors are so vibrant. Usually by the time I see a rainbow, it is faded and barely visible. Lucky you!

That is SOOOO goood - we had a rainbow here as well about 4pm as I was back from shopping. Stopped the car, got the camera out, turned it on .... BATTERY FLAT.... grrrr( I said much worse than that, believe me). So it was with joy that I looked at your rainbow all those miles(klms?) away.
