Some days you just need a rainbow. A little color to perk you up and brighten your day.
Today, I need a rainbow. And this is my idea of a beautiful, rainbow-y thing. Not a field of daisies or a pink cosmopolitan or a wiggly little puppy. Nope. Oily old machinery on a rainy day is all the rainbow I need today.
How ’bout you guys? What brightens your day?
Update: Like this photo? Now it’s available as a matted archival print here in my Etsy shop.
