Rainbows over Greeley

We’ve been taking our afternoon/evening walks lately now that the weather has started to warm up a bit. We were out today and it started to drizzle a little rain. When we looked up we saw a full-arch rainbow. By the time we walked back home it had stopped raining for the most part and the rainbow was slowly dissolving away. I managed to get this shot through one of the flowering crabapple trees in the front yard. I thought it was pretty cool. Now we just need to search for those pots ‘o gold.

This is over the neighborhood pond. Britton took this one with his cell phone.

Omelette’s Got No Toe

I noticed our chicken Omelette had a missing toe the other day -or at least half of it was missing. It was bleeding and she was limping a little. She is the really sketchy chicken. We got her as an adult chicken and so she wasn’t hand-raised like all the other ones. Plus Leghorns are known for being a little more skittish than some of the other breeds. Because of this, I couldn’t treat it or wash it out or anything. Anyhow, I managed to snap a few photos of her foot with the missing toe. I think her toenails must just be too long and she got it snagged on something. It looks like she is doing ok now though even without any of our help…
