somewhere over the rainbow

It' s been quite a while the last time a rainbow paid a visit to the kingdom of the flower fruit mountain. Lucyriver am doing some work when lifting up the head, looking out the windows, there it is, the massive and vivid seven-coloured arc emerges in front of the eyes. Quite a surprise as it is just a scanty drizzle a moment ago.

The colourful arc circles the the paddy field, painting an extremely magnificent picture to the blue, cloudy canvas. How great the hands of the nature are!

Upon close inspection, there is a faint secondary rainbow on the outer primary arc.

By the way, are you able to name all the seven colours of the rainbow according to its sequence. If not, a mnemonic can be a great help. Just like the Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain. Or do you have other interesting and amusing mnemonics to be shared?

Looking at the rainbow, it reminds Lucyriver of a saying of friendship.

It takes both the rain and sun to make a rainbow.
It takes both you and me to make a friendship.

Or this part of a poem that Lucyriver have always fond of.

What is hope?
A smiling rainbow.
Children follow through the wet;
'Tis not here
Still yonder, yonder
Never anyone found it yet.

-Thomas Carlyle-
(1795 – 1881)



Lucyriver wonder, should we find come to the end of a rainbow, would we find that pot of gold guarded by a leprechaun. Well, if only it has an end since it has no beginning.
