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!

    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.

    Never knew what a sun dog was either until just now. That photo is mesmerizing, truly. Perfect submission for Friday Sky watch.

    Awesome!!! And thanks so much for the link! Aren't they amazing in person? I love them! Great catches. I love the silhouetted shot too. Really make the sun dog the focal point.
