Look for me in the marsh...that's where you'll find me at Michigan's Cheboygan State Park. I wandered out into the marsh the other evening around sunset just to stretch my legs. Because the sky was overcast and gray, I didn't bring my camera...silly me. Tiny frogs were everywhere, hopping out of my way as I walked deeper into the marsh. Just as I reached a tiny spit of sand jutting out into Lake Huron, at the far edge of the marsh, the sun burst out from behind the clouds. The golden rays of the sun caused the marsh grasses to glow with a warm amber hue and the sky behind to turn a deep royal blue. I was thinking that I'd never seen a more beautiful sight when suddenly, a magnificent rainbow filled the sky. Every color was bright and distinct and it was a full 180 degrees, touching the ground at both ends. Of course, by then I was kicking myself for not having my camera with me. Resigned, I decided since I couldn't take pictures I would just enjoy the moment. As if as a reward for my decision, a second larger rainbow immediately surrounded the first rainbow. Never have I seen a more amazing sight! I went out into the marsh the next day in hopes of capturing some of the magic from the previous day. It was pretty, as usual, but nothing like the evening before. It may be I'll never see anything like that sight again, but those memories will be with me forever.
