Rainbows are one of the most beautiful atmospheric phenomena. Rainbows have come to symbolize so many things - hope, unity, faith, promise, and a bridge to forever - or a guide to treasure! No wonder we love to surround ourselves with their images in pictures and art. We love to decorate our computers, webpages and blogs with rainbow wallpaper, backgrounds, and clip art, And we love coloring pages with rainbows, too. I'd like to share some of my favorite rainbows, and resources for rainbow art.

This little rainbow is from Lee Hanson Graphics. Lee Hanson is also a Squidooer - you can learn more about her and her art here

Just what IS a rainbow? 

Category: File - :Double-alaskan-rainbow.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Semicircular double rainbow. Supernumerary rainbows on the inside of the primary arc. Shadow of the photographer marks the centre of the rainbow circle (antisolar point).

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch.

A rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of colours; the discrete bands are an artefact of human colour vision. The most commonly cited and remembered sequence, in English, is Newton's sevenfold red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (popularly memorized by mnemonics like Roy G. Biv).

Rainbows can be caused by other forms of water than rain, including mist, spray, and dew.

The pot of gold 

at the end of the rainbow

Irish folklore has it that leprechauns hide their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Of course, if you have ever tried (I did, as a child) you can never reach the end of the rainbow. it either moves or disappears before you can get there. The point of the story seems to be that you can never find the treasure, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. I say we keep on looking under rainbows...you never know what you might find on the journey.

I love fairies as much as I love rainbows. So, of course, I have some lenses about them. Here's a few of my favorites:

The Rainbow Bridge 

A message of love and hope for grieving pet owners

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge .

When a animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,

that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends

so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine

and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old

are restored to health and vigour;

those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,

just as we remember them in our dreams

of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing:

they each miss someone very special,

someone who was left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes

when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.

His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver.

Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass,

faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,

you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head,

and you look once more into those trusting eyes,

so long gone from your life,

but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

*Author Unknown*

There is a very special site, Rainbows Bridge where you can add a memorial for your own special pet who is waiting for you at the bridge.

Rainbows are a symbol of hope 

Most of all, to me, rainbows are a symbol of hope and of unity. Spread a little hope in the world by supporting KIVA. I do.

Kiva is the world's first online lending platform connecting online lenders to entrepreneurs across the globe. Make a loan to an entrepreneur in the developing world for as little as $25.

We at Squidoo passionately believe in creating new ways to support good causes online. By making a donation to KIVA from this page, you are sending money directly to that organization, in whatever amount you want. We don't touch it. We don't even see it. The author of this page doesn't either. And if you made it this far, thanks for caring.
