Rainbows Over the Town of Homes

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines on to droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere.

They also stop traffic, send residents out of their homes and bring smiles to everyone who sees them.

After yesterday's rain, wind, thunder and lightning, the clouds retreated and a rainbow reigned in the sky.

Thanks to Sandi McKinley and Katie Vreven, a second grader at the Wellington, for contributing their photos of the rainbow over Belmont.

If you have any photos of yesterday's rainbow, add it to this page or sent it to the editor and he will add it.
