"Pot of Gold?"
Kim Rosenlof
of Tempe, Arizona points out,
"Hot air balloons and rain don’t mix, which is why it’s
extremely unusual to see a rainbow and balloons together."
Not to worry – the colorful display only accompanied a light shower,
and this balloon flight at Parker, Arizona went off without a hitch.

landing, curiosity drew them back to the field
just in time for the big show.
