When was the last time you see a rainbow? As for me, to be honest, I can't remember anymore. I don't see it that often compare when I was still a kid. A rainbow is like a good sign for me, a sign of hope. That's why I am really sad that I don't see it anymore, is it maybe the place where I'm residing? Or perhaps I am just not lucky to see it. Ahhh, or maybe because I don't go outside after the rain? Either way, I got lucky this time, it is Mama who first spotted it, I am so glad she pointed it to me, "look there's a rainbow." My excitement surge up into the highest level, I ready my phone took a lot of snaps for the wonderful experience and admire it after. What a beautiful day after that rain ಠ◡ಠ.

It suddenly rain that day, I knew that it will rain but I took the risk thinking it won't rain. We headed to market without umbrella, just a cap which is really not helpful if ever it rains. How unlucky of us, we're about to head home already then it happened. The rain started to pour, Mama who's so impatient told me, "so we'll wait for it to stop?" I want to say yes because seriously, I don't want to get sick later, but we have to go home to prepare our lunch. We just waited for like 5 minutes, thankfully, the rain stop.

And there it is, Mama saw it, I actually didn't notice it because of the cap i'm wearing. What if Mama didn't notice it? We'll miss such a pretty sight! And at last! After a long time if not seeing it was, I finally see the real thing again. My mood bright up after seeing it.

I am happy because I see it with my own eyes, But I just wish, I had my new phone with me that time. Maybe the quality of the photo will come out a little better unlike this. Still pretty the sight of it will mark in my head, and I hope to see it again soon.

How often do you see a rainbow in your place? I'm really curious.!

And you know what's more amazing after the rain? It's the fact that insects, bugs and even frog go outside to enjoy the cold and rain outside.

It's a dragonfly, or so I thought. But according to google it is actually a Damselflies. They are so small and really thin. I am just glad that they are not that elusive like the other that'll go fly away from me immediately. And look how lovely it's color is! It is resting in my Mama's tomato.

And here's another one, according to google it is Red Pumpkin Beetle. Wait, why red? It looks brown to me. It is literally resting in the squash leaves. It's a small one and cute. It also look so similar to a Ladybugs but that one has brighter color I used to catch Ladybugs when I was a kid with my friends. I'm not sure if I already see this Red Pumpkin Beetle before, I can't remember much because Ladybug is what we always see in our neighbors garden and in the school. Do you see them in your pumpkin?

I love rainbows with its wonderful colors! And recently a friend tried to explain me what is the reason for the emergence of rainbows, hmmm, but I think I already forgot most of it again, hehe. 🌈

Haha, but do still see it often?

Haha, sure, from time to time I see some, I just forgot how the physics behind this phenomenon works. 😊 Anyhow the raindrops refract the white color of the sunlight into all the other colors it contains, but well ...

Agree. There's always a rainbow after the rain. Rainbows are beautiful as they depict colors and hope (as you mentioned). It's also a promise that brighter days are ahead so we just have to keep going.

Right? But when was the last time you see a rainbow?

Good question and I am not sure. Since I started working from home I haven't really seen a rainbow. Hahaha

Oh, I like rainbow too. I remembered the time when we point our fingers on it and our grandmother saying, don't do that, it can give bad luck. I don't understand it before. 😆

And that red pumpkin, they actually go out during rainy days..

Ehhhh, there's a paniniwala like that? This is the first time I heard about that 🤔.

I miss dragonflies. I used to see a lot of them in the nearby vacant lot when it's windy — the big brown ones. I don't see a lot of them these days and it's disappointing.. Which part of the Philippines do you live in?I'm from Negros Occidental.

Even here, they rarely show up. And if they did, pa isa isa lang talaga. Unlike before sa school, there's like 50 of them. I'm from Oriental Mindoro naman

I heard there are lots of great sightseeing spots in Oriental Mindoro. We're losing a lot of species and most are endemic to the Philippines. But, there are conservation efforts are made. I still have high hopes . Take care and it's nice meeting you, kabayan.

Yeah, there are lots, sadly mga di ko napupuntahan. Naturingan na taga dini, haha.

When rainbow is present after the rain, I really love to see it.

About rainbow? When I see a rainbow I stop and stare. My grandmother told me that if you see a rainbow there are blessings coming to your way. 🤗
