I was a bit off this morning. It looked like it was shaping up to be a beautiful day, so I put a load of wash in the machine. Our washing machine is in a small courtyard that is half under cover and half opened to the sky. After I put the wash in, I decided to move the drying rack out into the open part to get more air and sun. It contained some clothes that are vital for this evenings plans. Then I sat down to have my morning coffee in the office. When I took my cup back out to the kitchen, I was greeted by the spectacular rainbow you see in the picture. As always, the rainbow was more amazing to the naked eye than it appears in the photo.

The rest of the story involves me forgetting about the laundry while I go out to take a picture just before the downpour and then uploading it DURING the downpour. When I heard someone exclaim later on, it took me a good five seconds before I realized the the clothes had gotten rained on.
