Rainbows on many surfaces

One of pleasures at this time of the year is the rainbows that appear in the kitchen. This appears to be brought about by: the low angle of the sun and the way it streams into the kitchen, time of the day (when we are getting breakfast); and the bevelled edges on the louvres in the kitchen windows.

Thought I would share a few rainbows that can appear on and through the oddest things.

And these are my favourites - combination of refracted light and rainbows fragments brought about by the sun streaming through the louvres and then the gently boiling water in the glass kettle onto the kitchen cupboard door below.

You can see why one can smile whilst getting breakfast and cleaning up afterwards.
