The Environment / Re: Is it possible to reach the end of a rainbow?

My perception was - I saw the end of a rainbow - but no pot of gold - which is okay.
I walked out my door this morning at 7:00 and the sun was brightly shimmering off of the leaves. I walk towards the east to my car so I didn't notice what was behind me. As I pulled out and started driving to the west I noticed the "storm like" sky and then I saw it.
One of the most vivid rainbows I had ever seen was right in front of me. And the perceived distance between the "ends" was the shortest I had ever seen. It was not raining as I started out in the first mile and then it started to pour with the bright sun now in my rear view mirror.
At one point I looked to the left into a green grassy field and there it was - the end of a rainbow. I have seen many rainbows but this one will always stand out for me. And it was practically in my backyard.
Described as an illusion I know but I will hold it in my own heart as "seeing the end of a rainbow".
I really need to invest in a good camera to have with me at all times. Nature can be outstandingly beautiful.
