So, what weather phenomenon happens to cause rainbow season?
We get small, fast moving squalls that produce rain, graupel, or snow, followed by sunshine, usually in spring and fall. The intense pockets of sun in between precipitation cause perfect conditions for rainbows.
We've had a big shift in weather here in ReykjavΓk this week, finally. Not only did we get some blizzard-like conditions, we also got an early appearance of what I call Rainbow Seasonβ’οΈ.
Only this time we were treated to the some extra rare "snowbows."

Everything seems awful and chaotic and powerless, so I am left to do what I can only do: share some beauty with the world. I have no wise words or platitudes, but I do have a camera and empathy. A shot from my first global geomagnetic storm (2024) π

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WideOpenWings birds with wings wide open and the alt is #NoBranch any perched bird not on a branch. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
Here's the closest to wide open that I have from the few weeks with my first telephoto lens.
A high-speed action photograph of a male Eurasian Siskin (Spinus spinus) in mid-flight with wings fully extended. The bird features a black crown, bright yellow face, and olive-streaked plumage. Sunlight highlights the translucent yellow wing bars against a blurred background of dark, wintry branches with soft, natural bokeh.
The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WideOpenWings birds with wings wide open.
I think this #Siskin photo taken this past weekend fits the bill.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
So sad to learn of Neil Sedakaβs death. Castles in the Air was a really important song to my dad musically and lyrically.

In Lenten mist we wander through
The oldest wood, just me and you;
A vigil sacred, ours to keep,
Lets budding faith awake from sleep.
Cookie update. He is such a sweetheart. Very accepting of his indoor life. Seems ready to become a mushy household love bug. Not quite there yet. Still working on a March vet appointment for him. Still separated for now. Just set up a tv for him with an eagle cam. He's not interested. Love you all π©·

βFascism is a most ferocious attack by capital on the mass of the working people; Fascism is unbridled chauvinism and annexationist war; Fascism is rabid reaction and counter-revolution; Fascism is the most vicious enemy of the working class and of all working people!β
