OUTDOORS: Who doesn't like Rainbows?

As I walked out of Safeway last week on a rainy morning that was just clearing, I noticed a beautiful phenomenon looking west toward the Selkirk Mountain, a rainbow. Who doesn’t like rainbows? Watch what happens when a rainbow suddenly, almost magically, appears on the horizon, a delicate burst of color gently washed across the sky. People stop what they’re doing. Stare. Snap photos with their iPhones. And smile!
