Sharon Simms came to Hawaii in January for the CRS Sellabration at the Hilton Hawaiian Village andshe and her daughter also got to do a little sightseeing.
Along the way to the North Shore they stopped by Mililani Town and noticed (actually she was in awe) of the rainbows around and above the Mililani area.
A slight drizzle coming from the Koolau Mountains will give an array of colors for many wonderful rainbow shows throughout the year over Mililani, Waipio Gentry, Schofield Barracks, Wahiawa and Wheeler Army Air Field.
Of course rainbows are rampant all over Oahu...but these wonderful shows are right in our neighborhood. Many times while driving down and up Kipapa Gulch through the valleys looking from Kamehameha Highway or the H-2 freeway I've seen these beautiful arrays of colors.
I also found a few tidbits of info regarding Mililani and Rainbow related events, places and even a farm at our local Mililani Saturday Farmers Market:
Rainbow Schools opened in 1987 and is a preschool across from the Mililani Town Center at the Christ Lutheran Church. (there are other Rainbow Schools located in Kaneohe, Honolulu, Kahuku and Wahiawa too)
Mililani Rainbow Open Golf Tournament (one of the most prestigious Open Tournaments in Hawaii) since 1973. Popular among local golfers. Home of Mililani Junior Golf.
Rainbow Farm is a vendor at our Mililani Farmers Market on Saturdays. (This Farmers Market is also cosponsored by the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation) Rainbow Farm sells "Rainbow Papayas" as well as other produce.
And to top it off....a video of IZ & Jason Castro Duet: "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

love the video, that's my favorite song anymore and I put it as my background song on my webpage. I have a great video I found online someone put together. Here is a ink I uploaded onto my webpage so you view it.
my link didn't work, Hmm? <a href="http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=20278011">Iz, Somewhere Over the Rainbow It's a Wonderful World</a><br><embed src="http://lads.myspace.com/videos/vplayer.swf" flashvars="m=20278011&v=2&type=video" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="430" height="346"></embed> I hope that works. AR should consider giving us a "preview" of how our comments will look. I have to submit to see if it worked.
I love rainbows....your area is truly a paradise with such beautiful shows right in your neighbourhood. I used to see the odd double rainbow when I lived about 20 minutes from here on the lake, however now I only see single rainbows on those very special days when everything is just right.
I love your photos and that song has always been one of my favourites. Isn't it amazing how seeing a rainbow can always make everything seem right with the world?
Sally - one of the things I love about active|rain is the ability to see our world through the eyes of people who actually live in the various parts one might consider living in or even visiting. Beautiful video - Rainbows have always held a magic for me. I just love the look of a rainbow against the dark background of a storm that has passed there is a freshness in the air and feeling of a promise that all is well with the world.
Sally - what a great reminder of the wonderful rainbows we saw on your part of Hawaii. I haven't found anywhere in the world (though I haven't traveled most of it) that has as many rainbows.
Fran: Rainbows are just beautiful. Whatever it signifies for each of us..well, mystical array of colors is always in my mind. The natural wonders in this world.
Sharon: I didn't think of them as much prior to you saying...Mililani has so many rainbows. From then on I kept looking....and kept seeing....the beautiful rainbows.....above Mililani. :)
Sally, rainbows are one of my favorite excuses to stop what I am doing in "busy-ness" to pause in awe of God's creation. I only see one or two a year though. What a wonderful blessing to see them more often.
