About Me

My photo
I am a retired English teacher and department head, the mother of three grand mother of four, and have been married to the same man for 53 years, two years after we met at college. I taught in both middle and high schools as I really love teens and in-betweens. I was also a certified Lamaze instructor, and for a short time a volunteer chaplain at Howard County General Hospital. I am a two-time cancer survivor, ovarian (2003), and breast (2019) I was born in South Philadelphia and grew up in the 'burbs with great parents, in a bilingual household. I love soft pretzels and cheesesteaks, the Phillies, the Eagles, the Orioles, and sometimes the Ravens. I love being Mom, Aunt Kathy, Nona Kathy (Kath), and Teacher. I spend a lot of time in my gardens in the spring and summer, and in the winter I plan what I'm going to plant. I also am an avid reader, cook, photographer, lover of languages, music, and four-footed furries.

Beautiful! It's been years since I've seen a rainbow. Right now, I'd settle for a little rain.

I love rainbows but I've never seen any as beautiful as the ones here in the Pacific Northwest. I was in total awe when we moved here, Texas rainbows couldn't compare. I don't know why they seem so much brighter here.

I saw that too on Thursday night...beautiful!

We do get the double rainbows in Hawaii, but I haven't seen one in a while. That's a really beautiful one that you captured.

I've seen a double rainbow at the beach. They're amazing (and doubly beautiful).

We saw just a small sliver of one the other day but nothing like that gorgeous sight! Lucky you!

Clever you to photograph it! Usually by the time I have found my camera the rainbow, let alone the 2nd one, has vanished!

That means good luck! Great capture. Did you happen to spot the GOLD?
