along the highway.....

Sometime in the middle of June, George and I headed off to Kelowna to visit and care for his mom. She needed help paying bills and taxes. She asked for help with shopping. We go fairly often to help her out.

Is it an annoyance? No. I love the drive. It takes 4 and a bit hours in fair and good weather. We drive through the Coquahala Highway or along the TransCanada Highway for a while before heading north. George and I either talk, read, listen to music or just take turns napping.

On this particular trip, I was exhausted. (I had written and submitted all my report cards to the admin for final checks and signatures. We had had the most busy life the week of report card writing which added to my weariness.) I quickly fell asleep and had slumbered for about 1/2 hour when....George woke me up. I woke to his pointing down the highway....the was a rainbow with an end right on our route. Water was splashing off the road so that the mist that surrounded the base of the rainbow was golden in colour. Beautiful!! I struggled to get my phone out of my pocket and each second meant a gradual dying of the brilliance, but I think I got a lot of the image.......
