So not over the Rainbow

As a kid when we saw rainbows, all we wanted to do is find the end of it.  It wasn't so much because of the old tale that promised a pot of gold (although that could buy a lot of candy) - we wanted to see the leprechaun!  That little green suited dancing guy seemed like he would be a fun playmate for an afternoon.  Just think of the shenanigans we could get in to with a leprechaun!  And so as a child, every time we were lucky enough to see a rainbow- we wanted to find the end of it!
As we grew older the thought and excitement of the possibility of a leprechaun grew less.... let's say feasible, and the pot of gold- granted handy- also became a childhood day dream.  But even without the hope of a small fortune and a small green dancing man; we as adults are still fascinated by rainbows.  Rainbows are still a cool sight to see, they are rare enough that when we see one we must take a picture or in the case of a double rainbow a video!  I have to admit, I have never seen a rainbow form, I usually just catch a glimpse of one off in the distance... that is until this week.  We were unlucky enough to be in the middle of a fierce storm with funnel clouds and all this week.  But just at the end of the storm we were lucky enough to catch a rainbow form very close by.  Check out the video below, we were close enough to see the end of the rainbow very clearly, sadly no pot of gold to pay off our credit cards and no dancing leprechaun to take us away from work for the afternoon... but it was quite a cool thing to see!
