Radiant Rainbows of Hawaii

by TropicGirl77 - last update: Mar 4, 2003

Double rainbow

Look upward!

It's no use LOOKING for a rainbow . . . they never appear when you're looking for one. The trick is to just let it appear when you least expect it and it will be the most brilliantly colored rainbow you've ever seen. I've yet to see a triple rainbow, and count it a blessing that I've seen as many double rainbows here as I have!

Rainbow chasers

I happened to be driving home one day and had the opportunity to be chased by this gorgeous rainbow! I kid you not! As I focused in on this beauty, it came closer and closer. Close as I was, I didn't bother trying to locate the pot of gold since the sport of traipsing through the pineapple fields did not appeal to me in the least.
No pot of gold found here

Rainbow Horizons

We found this particular rainbow in Ewa Beach one day.

Volcanic Rainbows

HA! You can run, but you can't hide! This chased us all the way to the Big Island. We found this colorful weak one over a volcano crater! (2001)

Present at Punchbowl

Hanging out over Punchbowl

This one we found sneaking around the corner of Punchbowl.

Even at the soccer fields!

Because thunderstorms are so rare here in Hawaii, you don't have to pack up your soccer game at the slightest suggestion of rain. This rainbow just appeared during the middle of my sons soccer game!

 Hello, just wanted to let you know. your yellow birds are saffron finch. they were everywhere when i was last there but didn't see them before that. I believe your sandpiper is a juvinile pacific golden plover.

 I can't thank you enough for mentioning things like this. There aren't enough people in the world that are looking out for our beautiful creatures. :)
