Michael Heath sent us some beautiful photos just as the rainbow could be visually observed at daylight today:

First, here’s a double rainbow, one is brighter than the other, with such vivid, vibrant colors.

Here is an amazing photo, taken by Robert Boselli in Ventnor, New Jersey at about 7:30 a.m., this morning, Wednesday, October 5, 2022.

Just in case you wondered how are rainbows formed, it’s a pretty amazing process.

From National Geographic Society, they describe it like this:

“When sunlight hits a rain droplet, some of the light is reflected. The electromagnetic spectrum is made of light with many different wavelengths, and each is reflected at a different angle. Thus, spectrum is separated, producing a rainbow.”

Think about it, rainbows always follow bad weather. It’s sort of God's way of restoring optimism after a dreary pattern of bad weather.

There’s something magical about looking up into the sky and witnessing a beautiful rainbow.

We hope that you’ve had the opportunity to see this natural beauty today … earned, especially after 4 consecutive days of rain and wind.
