(after the fact, I always wish I’d shot more video of moments like these – but in the moment I worried about annoying others sitting nearby, plus I didn’t want to just experience the whole thing through the camera viewfinder. That annoying clicking sound is something internal that my point-n-shoot camera introduces as I try to adjust functions ...doesn’t even make that sound when I’m using it, but somehow it’s there in the video afterwards. :(

at Sonnenberg

As I walked over to get a better look, the rainbow was positioned to exactly connect my dad's new house to where the old one was. Maddeningly, my camera's view wasn't wide enough to see it all. And the rainbow passed so quickly before there was time think of better ways to capture it.
