Surprised By Rainbows!

Driving to Yuba City yesterday at about noon, I was struck by all the rainbows. Rainbows are scarce at noon. In general, the sun has to be low on the horizon to see rainbows, and noon isn't the time. EXCEPT when you are approaching winter solstice! Then the sun remains low enough in the sky, even at noon, that you can catch glimpses of the peak of the rainbow arches.

Sometimes we are blessed by amazing spectacles in the sky, but we have our heads down and don't even notice.
