Taken by Bob Lynch on March 4, 2014 @ It was around 4:30 Pm I think in Orlando FL. It was a very nice day. I looked to the West and there was what looked like a rain bow (Maybe sunbow?) high in the sky. The Sun was starting to set and the Sun was on the convex side of the "bow". I am sending two picture on zoomed out one zoomed in.

Yes, a sunbow, terminologically, a circumzenithal arc, which can appear when the solar altitude is low even in a clear sky, and is convex towards the sun (sometimes referred as sunvex).
It is purely due to dispersion like a prism, so its color seems to be more vivid than a usual rainbow.
