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).

While I was out of action this last week because of a migraine, a few rainbows appeared in the sky which I have not posted here. When my health and tolerance of light due to the migraine allowed me outside, I grabbed shots of some of those rainbows - one (maybe two?) a double. I’m sharing them here. 🌈

This morning’s rainbow 🌈. A double rainbow. They actually arched right across the sky in a perfect arc, but it was raining at the time and I would have got soaked trying to capture that.

These images are a week old. Over the course of a day these rainbows greeted me on the day after my return to Maui. Hawaii is known for its rainbows. Last Wednesday the skies over our corner of the island excelled themselves. 🌈
