Very pretty. It seems most rainbows occur in places without a nice setting, but this is a rainbow shot that really works. Well done. Paul On Jun 13, 2011, at 9:06 PM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: > steve harley wrote: > >> On 2011-06-12 15:03 , Ann Sanfedele wrote: >> >>> Well - it used to be called

Thanks to everybody for your kind wishes. We've had a couple of fairly strong ones since yesterday but they were minor in the grand scheme, both below 5. We were sent home from work at lunch time, not really sure why but it's a lovely day outside so I might have a nice walk to the supermarket
