We have been having some very warm days, but it is almost always possible to find '8 breezy spot where one can be comfortable. As I write, the rain is coming down. A few days ago we had a beautiful phenomenon such as we have not witnessed before. A slight shower was falling when a bright rainbow appeared inthe S.E., one end of which reflected across the water to our beach, while the other reached far away into the N. Easterly mountains. Outside this bow was a second reflected bow, while within and contiguous to it was a second bow or reflection. Most of the colours were quite distinguishable in this inner bow, reversed in order, while all the colours of the original bow could be readily distinguished.
