An Icelandic Birthday

"So you were concerned that the volcano wasn’t erupting anymore before you left….what did you do?  It must have been something to really upset it J"

Geez -- I was just keeping my fingers crossed that it would burp once or twice, enough for me to get a few good shots. I swear. I never intended to empty the British (and Polish and Irish) skies..."

It must be that I'm extra powerful because it's my birthday? ;o)

Since I still can't get close to the volcano (the roads are still closed), I spent my birthday riding a handsome Icelandic horse under a rainbow sky, followed by a dip in one of the geothermal hot springs that Iceland is famous for.

I'm all suited up because it was pretty cold and wet!

When the sun came out, the full-arch rainbow was spectacular
