Well I might not have got my wet, stay inside Sunday, but the morning showers did produce a faint rainbow. 🌈
Rainbows
With increasing regularity, I have been posting images of rainbows that I have seen. Most of these are taken in Maui, where I live, though there are a handful from elsewhere. I decided to collect all of these photographs together and show them in a single page. As of this page going live, Monday 14th May 2025, there were 89 photos of rainbows on the site.
The images start with the first rainbow posted to this website. That was on 23rd December 2018. They then work forward through the days, months and years to the most recent (as of this page going live was two days ago, 12th April 2025).

With autumn now officially here, I asked @andycarolan@social.lol to create another seasonal owl for me. This will be the fourth version of the owl that Andy has created. Thank you to Andy for your work. As ever it has been a pleasure working with you.
Here are the four owls that Andy has created for me, with the most recent in the top left. I’ve now placed this new avatar across my online presence.
If you are curious as to ”why the owls”, I have explained that here.

This morning’s double rainbow 🌈
Yesterday evening we had a rain shower. The skies darkened quickly, the rain fell and with that, as the sun set on the other side of the island, a rainbow formed. 🌈
The rainbow started off as just a part rainbow sitting in a cloud,
and then it formed a complete ark across the sky.
With the return of the rains, it looks as though the rainbows are returning. I saw a couple of partial rainbows nestled in clouds while out driving yesterday. Then this rainbow greeted me this morning. 🌈
I think, I hope that the rains are slowly returning to Maui. More clouds. More short showers. We have had a couple of sprinkling showers already today. Next I would like to order a heavy downpour and then an overcast day peppered with plenty of rain.
At the end of last week one brief evening shower produced a very faint rainbow. You might have to look hard to see it, but it is there. I’ll claim it to add to the collection of rainbows on this blog. 🌈
This morning’s rainbow…and “yes,” that is a slip and slide going down that hill. 🌈
This morning’s rainbow. There was a double rainbow, but the second one disappeared before I found my camera. 🌈
The rainbows seem to be making a slow return. This morning one started to appear but then thought better of it. Yesterday morning we were blessed with this rainbow 🌈
The first morning rainbow since my return. A little morning shower followed by sprinkling of sunshine did the trick. 🌈
No sooner have I spoken than I spied a very faint rainbow this morning. Very faint indeed, but I’m pretty sure that is what is hanging there in the sky. Is this a stretch? I don’t think so. I’ll take it.
I’m beginning to wonder what has happened to the rainbows since I returned to Maui? I haven’t seen one, and this morning it is raining. The ingredients are there. Perhaps they are taking a summer vacation?
A rainbow, or should I say a double rainbow that showed itself while I was in Britain. My wife sent me the photograph, so photo credit to her. 🌈
This morning there were four rainbows over the space of a couple of hours. One was too big to capture in one photo. Because of the number and size, I have made two collages of this morning’s rainbows 🌈

I’ve just added to new page to my website, Rainbows.
Given that I post so many photos of rainbows on this site, I decided to collect them all together using Micro.blog’s Photo Collections feature. As of today there are 89 photographs of rainbows here. The page will update as I add more…as I’m sure that I will!

Now that Spring is officially here, I have changed my avatar to a Summer Owl (complete with a Shaka). Thank you again to @andycarolan@social.lol for creating this (avatar number 4, and the third owl). It’s always a pleasure to work with him, and I definitely recommend his work. 🤙🏻
We were blessed with three rainbows this morning (or maybe they were manifestations of the same one?), shown below in the order in which they appeared. 🌈
