A mist bow.....
...well technically I think it is a fog bow..... but very pretty! (click photo to enlarge). This one was right outside my back door yesterday. Beautiful!
just found your delightfull blog .. through the wind and the wellies .. i live on a small island as well .. on the east coast of vancouver island .. it's wonderfull to see your ancient one .. by the way, did the unicorn come by .. ? ..
Belated greetings! Oooh I must check out your blog. I visited Vancouver island about 16 years ago (a day trip from Seattle). We visited the Butchart gardens and had "English Afternoon Tea" in one of the hotels. I had a bit of a culture shock as I had been on holiday in the US, KNEW I was thousands of miles from London but I was riding in a red double decker bus around the city of Victoria. LOL!
I know! Wish you could visit sometime and I could show you around! (Well that would take about an hour on this island - then we could have tea and cake.....)
I've seen a moon bow and a sun dog, but never a fog bow. Love the Orkneys! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOOoh I'd LOVE to see a moon bow.... no idea what a sun dog is??! Hope you get to visit again one day?
DeleteGosh, I've never seen that before. We just had mist... :-(
ReplyDeleteI'd only heard about it recently and was thrilled to see one..... I must try and be a bit more observant in future.

Deletei've never seen a mist bow before ;)Have a good day :)
ReplyDeleteNeither had I. It was lovely -wish I'd had more time to take pix but I was on the way to the ferry - which, as you know, doesn't wait!
DeleteLovely photo - only seen one once, at Bexhill on the Sussex Coast a couple of years ago - very exciting!
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing aren't they? So glad I've finally seen one.
DeleteSame as others, I have never seen ( or heard of! ) a fog bow before, thats quite something. Nature can be so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes - it often takes my breath away (sometimes literally in a gale!).
DeleteWhat an amazing thing ! What a lovely little island you live on !
