#209 Moments that take your breath away

So first  I have to give you some back ground information.
#1 I have been recording moments that take my breath away for over 10 years now.  I liked the saying when I first heard it and ever since I have tried to take note of those moments.  To cherish them for the gift they are.
#2  My daughter and I  have on many occasions talked about the fact that sometimes God will send you little gifts.  Little ways of letting you know he is watching over you, and loves you.  Usually something very subtle but out of the ordinary so you know it is a gift for you.
#3  I have been following the KSL photo for quite sometime and love the pictures that people post.  It has been a true inspiration, and I have submitted a couple of my own pics to their website.  I was going through it about a week ago and there was some great pics of rainbows that people have taken with all the rainstorms we have had recently.  And a couple of people have submitted photos of rainbow clouds.   There are certain clouds that are high into the atmosphere and ice crystals form in the cloud.  If the sun hits it just right it creates a rainbow in the cloud.  Fascinating and beautiful!  It got me thinking: gosh I would love to get a pic of a rainbow for my challenge, and a rainbow cloud would just be way to much to ask for.  So.. everytime it rains I have gone outside looking for a rainbow. 
Now for the story: No, there wasn't a rainstorm this morning, but there was a gorgeous sunrise. One that turned all the clouds colors of reds, purples, yellows, oranges..... I grabbed my camera and headed out the door to take some pics! It didn' matter  wich way you turned it was beautiful.  I took pics for about 5 minutes,  then I just stood on my porch facing west to watch.  That is when...







God realized he had my attention and said, "If you like that, look what else I have to show you."
And right where I was looking a rainbow cloud appeared! Can you see it?  Just left of the tree?


I was so stunned I almost forgot to take a picture.  It only lasted about a minute.  WOW! 
Thank you God for knowing I was watching and giving me this beautiful gift and opportunity to photograph it.   You take my breath away!
