HELLO SCOUTS!
ARE YOU READY?
WELL I CERTAINLY AM!
Double Rainbow
Did you know that Nature only makes its big rainbows
when the sun is low in the sky, in the early morning
and late afternoon? No? Well it's true!
To Find nature's big rainbows you need to have a checklist.
Bright sun to your back
Now, if it's later than 4:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon or
earlier than 8:30 to 9:00 in the morning
and
if everything on your checklist is present ,
there's a very good chance you'll find a rainbow.
If one time you don't see one keep on looking.
Remember, knowledge is power
and
Knowing when and where to look means you will find
a lot more rainbows than most people.
Where, you ask?
Just remember,
whenever a mist or rainfall is around and the sun is out,
you can only see a rainbow
if you view the mist with your back to sun.
Now comes the fun part..... creating your own rainbows!
How you ask? simple as 1...2....3...!
Try watering with your back to the sun. Use a misting
nozzle or cover the end of the hose with your fingers.
Squirt the water down your shadow and there will always
be a rainbow for you to see. Wave the hose around to see
the full rainbow. Kool, right?

If you only see the left half of the rainbow move left or
spray more to the right. If you see only the right half,
move right or spray more to the left.. If the sun is high in
the sky, you will see a slanted rainbow that you will be
standing in. How do you know if you are doing it right?
That's easy, you'll see a rainbow!

Get all your friends together and run through the
rainbow. If you get in close enough, not only will you get
really wet, but you will get to see a full circle rainbow
floating right in front of your face. Yep, I said, "a full
circle!" Give it a try.
This is a great way to get wet,
give the flowers and grass a drink of water!
and of course......have fun creating rainbows
I don't know where the others have gone off to.......
During my rainbow quest, I met a fantastic person named Fred Stern, who is a
recognized innovator in environmental art. He actually creates rainbows! He has
created over 40 Natural Man Made Rainbows as large as 2000 feet across for
events in support of humanitarian causes. Now this is a really kool person.
He has kindly permitted me to let you in on the secrets of rainbows.
You really need to see his website!
It's one of those do not miss places!
Check out all the fantastic rainbows he has created, plus lots more!

Special Thanks
After you have made your own rainbows, you will come to
realize we are always surrounded by them. All you need to
make them visible is the magic dust of a spray of water when
the sun is out.
