I have a knack for looking in the right place at the right time. I was simply sitting down looking out the window and I was able to watch the entire thing materialize. Pure luck, I’ve had this happen many times and I also go looking for it too around peak shower times. This was pure happenstance for me to see this. Very unique color. It was very blue upon entering and by the time it was all over it was blueish-green. Pretty awesome. If there were more leaves on the trees next door there’s no way I would’ve caught that.
