Rainbows:Understand The Science-But Still Like Idea of A Pot of Gold

Rainbows are created when certain variables are in place and it's no real mystery for us as adults now. There is a scientific cause and effect. If certain conditions occur, then a rainbow will be created. But imagine what it must have been like when people first walked the earth and observed these mysterious colors in the sky.

Then later shamen, wise men, and con artists put their spin on what rainbows meant and probably some tried to profit off the gullibility of the masses.

I saw this rainbow last week after a brief shower. This was on near Wildhorse on Loop1604 near Braun Road. Pot of Gold just beyond the Comfort Inn, I guess.

As kids, we heard there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, guarded by some leprechauns. I'm not sure where that myth came from, but it was fun to think of what one could do with that pot of gold.

Your pot of gold could be the next house you buy or sell in the San Antonio area. I'm no leprechaun, but I'd love to help you with you next real estate deal in San Antonio. Call me at 210-483-6329 or text me at 210-394-2269.

George-Except in VA. You're so close to DC, I'm pretty sure every thing that is myth in other places can be shown to be true in your area. Thanks for stopping.

Hi Wayne, I believed in the pot of Gold at the end of a Rainbow in my youth. I am sure you will be able to help the next buyers find their Dream Home, which could very well be their "Pot of Gold".

Usually the closer you get the more the rainbow moves away, but I had the pleasure of driving through a rainbow one day - fun!

Interesting. For some odd reason the skittles slogan in their commercial comes to mind. "Taste the rainbow"Wayne love how you tied that into Real Estate.

I'm glad you're getting some rain there, and hope you needed it. We get our share of rainbows here on the windward side of the island and it's always a pleasure to see one.

Wayne,

What a nice explanation and many thoughts to ponder. A few weeks ago I saw a rainbow too and posted it. It was such a joy to see it - it was as if there was new found energy too!

Rainbows evoke a lot of emotions - it reminds me of my favorite Kermit the Frog song - "The Rainbow Song."

My mother taught me that a rainbow was a sign from God that he would not allow the entire earth to be flooded again as he did in the days of Noah. I love your photograph. It's neat how the rainbow divides the sky. Beyond the rainbow it is brighter in color. :) Neat! Have a great week! :)

Wayne loved the analogy about Finding that Pot of Gold and that is why you need to represent the buyer to find that great Value! I always loved and still love Rainbows. When I see one it puts a smile on my face:)
