This Magic Moment

As I burst into song (with Diana Ross' voice singing in the background--scroll down and click on the arrow next to #12), and while I still work on the myriad photos from Farm Day in Michigan a couple weekends ago, here's a very "magic" interlude for you! (And yes, we're still in Amsterdam!)



It had started to rain just before the tribe (37 of us) gathered around to eat supper. But even before the end of supper, we were able to go back outside. Suddenly, our tummies full, we all saw it. Off in the distance, the double rainbow!

But because that blasted telephone pole was in the way, we with the cameras (nephew Paul, sister Ruth and myself) ran behind the sheds to the open fields to get a better view.




Because I was the slowest of the bunch, I got to capitalize on Paul and Ruth shooting the bow, so to speak!



There was no longer the double arch, but at least there was nothing obstructing the view.



Then it was gone but the magic moment and magic hour lingered. We all just reveled in it. Don't you love how the kids follow suit! They hardly need to be taught what's important. They just watch our excitement.









Once everyone was gone, I lingered some more...and leave you with this self-portrait!

You can't pay for these things. They just happen and you have to make sure your eyes are open!
