Somewhere over the rainbow, 
Way up high
, There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby… Somewhere over the rainbow, Skies are blue,  And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true…. Someday I’ll wish upon a star, 
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me, 
Where troubles melt like lemon drops, 
Away above the chimney tops, 
That’s where you’ll find me…. Somewhere over the rainbow,  Blue birds fly,  Birds fly over the rainbow,  Why then, oh why can’t I? If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow, 
Why oh why can’t I?” —Judy Garland

Rainbows are symbolic of dreams and of promises….

This amazing rainbow and perfectly timed sailboat were photographed on February 8th, 2015. Many other people from many different locations along the Indian River Lagoon region also photographed the rainbow that day.

This rainbow post has been so popular on Facebook that I thought I’d write about it and share some more photos of it today. It keeps popping back up!

I witnessed this incredible natural phenomenon while walking with my childhood friend, Eric Potsdam, who is now a professor of Linguistics at University of Florida. It was a double rainbow and at times, appeared to be with in 30 feet of where we were standing.

As stated in HOW THINGS WORK, “a rainbow does not actually exist at a location in the sky, but rather is an optical phenomenon whose apparent position depends on the observer’s location;” of course this is why some people photographed the rainbow over the rivers, and others over the ocean, and still others over the land….

This is also why when you’re chasing the “pot of gold,” you never quite get there, but you really do! 🙂

Tracy Chase Barnes Miraculous is definitely the word. When we saw it I said to Doug that I understand how it works with reflective light and all, but to have those perfect 7 colors come out like that every time is absolutely a miracle
