When we were in Whistler over Christmas we had the delight of seeing two different rainbows, which I realized were actually “snowbows.” One of them looked like a traditional arc (top and bottom image), the other hung suspended in the air upside-down (middle image).

I am delighted to share another submission to the Monk in the World guest post series from the community. Read on for Mallory Morris’ photo essay on breathing deep and paying attention. Breathe deep; now look around. Breathe deep again; notice what sort of light
For Kinship with Creation*God of lavish fecundity,you overflow into nature in every moment,offering your gifts of beauty and nourishment.Nurture me with sacred rhythms of light and dark,rising and falling, fullness and emptiness,as the pulse of your loving presence animates every living thing.Help me to remember

Thanks dear friends.
Rachelle, maybe if your son moves out here you’ll be tempted too! :-)
Snowbow! How cool is that?!!! We occasionally have the pleasure at this time of year of “sundogs” but these photos go a bit farther down the road (across the sky) than our little pups.
Beautiful, Christine, again, thanks for sharing! I’ll be showing these photos to my loved ones. My “boy”, Reid (age 26) says “COOL”–he’ll be on the lookout for them now that he knows they are possible. Maybe not in Michigan, but he fell in love with Seattle when he was out west last year. Oh dear, don’t go stealin’ his heart with your wild western ways!
Hugs dearest Christine.
