Sundog, Baby, Sundog!

While I've seen sundogs over the years and have recently read about them on Georgia Storm Chaser's blog, I've never caught one in a photo. Finally I got lucky! Both of these were taken around 6:10pm daylight standard time in Columbia, Missouri. I was so very excited! Mom and I had just come outside to get in the car, I looked up and this is what we both saw. Beautiful!
What a perfect post for Sky Watch Friday!

  1. Sundogs are one of my favorite sky things. I see more here than I've ever seen anywhere, but YOURS is such a brilliant one? I was sure yesterday afternoon we were going to have one (or two) in the evening, but I was wrong.
