April 14th-April 18th, 2024 is Spring-SEIMEI -15th KOU “First rainbows”. It means the time when the first rainbow appears after the spring rains.

The highest temperature in Nagano City yesterday rose to 26 ℃. Perhaps as a reaction to that, this morning’s weather forecast is for rain with an umbrella symbol.

Rain is necessary for a rainbow to appear. Light rain has started while I was out walking, luckily? So I turned my back to the sun and wait the appearance…… it didn’t come out. It only rained enough to leave several traces of raindrops on stones.

About a week ago, I found a rainbow. The bicycle’s reflective plate made it.
