Looking up from dinner preparation, i saw a huge double rainbow landing right in my backyard along the north canyon rim. I grabbed a camera and ran outside to capture the image.

Click click cl... woah! There was a cow moose in the photo, and in the yard, about 15 feet away. Luckily it was a mellow one or I could have been injured, as I dang near ran into it. The cows around here seem to appreciate finding peace to birth their calves and so return the amistad. They also tend to have grey and shabby coats from getting bitten by ticks, which have been epic this year.

Local leprechauns should be careful chasing after pots of gold at the end of rainbows, because they might surprise a critter instead.

Myself, I just feel blessed to live here, and happy that my dinner didn’t quite burn while I was outside delighting in all the wonder!
