It was the brightest rainbow I've seen in years!<br /><br />Your picture made me think of one of my favorite songs. I posted a link to it on myspace. It's Kenny Loggins' "The Rainbow Connection." It gives me chills whenever I hear that song. The lyrics are just beautiful--about believing in things that appear to be just illusions.<br /><br />Another favorite for me is Iz's version of "Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World." Iz was a Hawaiian singer with the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. He sang this song using just a ukelele. If you're interested, do a search on youtube for his version of this song. You won't regret it.<br /><br />Thanks for the great post, Pat!Pat Walkerhttp://www.bajarockpat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-66197775563516149782009-07-07T14:26:37.074-06:002009-07-07T14:26:37.074-06:00What a great photo.

I recently watched "The Wizard of Oz" (for the millionth time) and was awed by Judy Garland's song. No one could have known at the time that it would become the signature song of her career, reminding the whole world of that magical performance.<br />LuanaLuana Krausehttp://www.emeraldcity48.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-15275517762950777972009-07-07T11:04:53.311-06:002009-07-07T11:04:53.311-06:00Hi Nancy.

I used to play it over and over on the piano instead of practicing (which is why I don't play the piano very well).Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-35650308251174515772009-07-07T11:02:21.253-06:002009-07-07T11:02:21.253-06:00Thanks Jane, Lost, Stephen, and Karen for stopping...Thanks Jane, Lost, Stephen, and Karen for stopping by. It's hard to resist a good rainbow.<br /><br />Lost -- nice to meet you. It's true, so many things in our lives don't mean the same today as they did when I was younger. With political correctness, euphemisms, and cultural change, it's difficult to write/talk in plain language (at least the plain language I learned as a kid).<br /><br />Galen -- I've heard that rumor about the end of the rainbow, but the end never seems to be where I'm at.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-63669172461882098142009-07-07T10:59:46.234-06:002009-07-07T10:59:46.234-06:00Ohhhh, beautiful picture...and the faint trace of ...Ohhhh, beautiful picture...and the faint trace of a double rainbow.
