Iris is a genus of 260–300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris. Here is a beauty at Swan Lake Iris Gardens, Sumter, South Carolina.
Enjoying the View
These birds seem to be looking elsewhere rather than enjoying the view of the rainbow over Long Beach, CA
Contemplation
It almost appears that this bird is contemplating what to do next as the rainbow reaches over the skyline of Long Beach, CA
Iguazu Falls – Another Rainbow
Waterfall rainbows are not even an especially rare phenomenon at Iguazu Falls, but they are spectacular. As if waterfalls were not extravagant enough, nature goes and really creates a feast for the eyes by throwing in a rainbow for free. Rampaging water, perennially worn rocks, and the seven colours of the spectrum just to top it all off.
The nature uses its own palette to paint the brilliant colors of a rainbow
