Ferida Wolff's Backyard: A Fantastic Double Rainbow
Ferida Wolff writes: "A rainbow, besides being amazing, is seen as a sign of possibilities. In the midst of life’s storms it is often hard to spot a rainbow, but they tend to appear after the storm and offer hope. A double rainbow is even rarer and a good omen.

It makes my daily walk new each time." more »
