Rainbow over osprey nest
Just before sunset, I waited, waited,waited for an osprey to return to its nest at the top of this light standard when a rainbow began to grow. Ha! My camera captured a rainbow but not the osprey.

Oh wow! That is a very nice huge rainbow. Did the Osprey ever return? Probably saw you there and hope you got rained on. LOL MB
Those Ospreys' never cooperate.
That is beautiful! I always find miracles in my photos!
Very nice! I also like the light lines on the grass.:-)
A rainbow is much better than an Osprey any day! Great catch!
That's an amazing photo. Must be nice and warm for the ospreys on top of that light pole.
i´m so glad when we have our camera when a rainbow appears, congratulations!
I'm sure your osprey photo would have been lovely; but this capture is very cool indeed.
Beautiful color in the whole image.
Beautiful. I wonder which is harder to capture with your lens, an osprey or a rainbow?

amazing shot! i've always wanted to capture a rainbow...no luck so far.:P
Ah, very pretty & very cool shot!
Happy SWF!
It is always fun to see a rainbow - even more fun to capture it with your camera! Great shot! Beautiful colors!
We have osprey in the UK, not here. Beautiful birds, but they do poop a lot. Gorgeous rainbow rising.
All I can say is... Oooohhhh...
That's not a bad plan B isn't it. Rainbows always manage to bring a smile on my face.
A very impressive rainbow to be sure! You either had a long lens or were very lucky to so close to the pot of gold!
Gorgeous big fat rainbow - going to be a lot of gold there!
Your corner of the world is stunning, and you capture it's beauty well. You came away with a nice photo, and will most likely get the bird the next time.
What a beautiful rainbow.
This one is fantastic, bravo!
Have a great weekend

A great unplanned capture! And what a gorgeous rainbow....beautiful sunlit trees also...
Now that is photo is light-blessed!
Wow, that is one big rainbow! I have a stuffed osprey on my blog post from yesterday. Much easier than waiting around in nature. Though not nearly as satisfying.
I like surprises like that. Beautiful capture of the rainbow and the nest and all the light!
Stunning capture.... time spent waiting paid off in the end... :O)

That's an amazing shot. Such a good capture of the rainbow. Nice consolation for not getting the osprey shot.
Beautiful view of the rainbow, how lucky for you to get to enjoy it and kind of you to share with Sky Watch Friday.
Looks like a great substitute!!! Awesome capture. I could almost reach out and touch it!
Oh well, the wait was still worth it then. Great place for a nest btw.
I'm sorry you didn't get the osprey, but I'm very glad you got this wonderful rainbow.
EG: I was trying to get two Osprey today on the lake. The rainbow is a great exchange.
I'd say you made out pretty good having to settle for a measley rainbow shot! LOL!
That is a wonderful rainbow capture. So many are too small to really see well. This one is amazing.
Simply amazing and wonderful!
Enjoyed your sunset and rainbow ~ Beautiful post...love the size of your pictures...

Everyone deserves to capture a rainbow in their lifetime. And with the osprey, you hit the mother lode!
Pesky osprey, how dare they not cooperate!
Beautiful photo anyways!
That was what you were meant to capture: a gorgeous rainbow. The osprey was probably behind you the whole time. they are such teases.
Beautiful capture of the rainbow, EG. I love rainbows---and always think that God is sending down his colors JUST for me.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
Great rainbow capture...... Beautiful Barbara

Sometimes it´s just when we wait for something special, that something unexpected happens. Thats life!!
