Details:
I happened to look up, on a bright, sunny day, early to mid afternoon. In the midst of wispy cirrus clouds, we saw a brilliant rainbow. ..only in the clouds. We watched as the colors faded in one, and began to appear in 2 others. I called out to the 20 or so people in the parking lot, "LOOK UP!!!" Everyone got their phones out. We stayed about 20 minutes til they all faded. I'm 61. This was the first time I've ever seen this phenomenon. My husband, Marcus Fireheart, was equally enthralled! Shot with my Samsung Galaxy S5.
