A good day for rainbows
Quite apart from being the day my long-awaited writing studio arrived (all the way over the ranges from the Hawke's Bay) - it was an auspicious day for another reason. While the Ruahine Range just east of us were shrouded by rain cloud from morning, on the river terrace we were bathed in winter sunshine. The intersection of sunshine and rain cloud led to the most sustained show of rainbows that I have ever witnessed, beginning with fragments, ending with a display of a full arc of splendour.
