Sun in the middle,
With sundogs* on either side
A sight rarely seen...
~~~
(And just beautiful)
(Thank you, Mother Nature!)

P. S. To my young friend, Weather Boy, aka JBM (Nurse Nancy's son), that makes 4 sundog sightings for me in the last 6 weeks! ?
*The scientific name for sundog is parhelion (from ~beside the sun~). According to my very favorite source of information, Wikipedia.org, sundogs/parhelia are atmospheric phenomenon. (Click on the highlighted words for more information and incredible photos.) Oh, and it has something to do with ice crystals. I like anything that involves ice crystals!
I've never seen this in real life.
ReplyDeleteThis is magically delicious, you know!
Just what is a sun dog? I'm with Kate, I have never seen this before. Very beautiful, Annie.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI have seen them a few times in CA. However, I do notice that I see them far more clearly IF I am wearing polarized sun glasses. Thanks for the great photo!

FANtastic! I saw my very first sundog just a few weeks ago, and as luck would have it, did not have the camera with me!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteShow-off;)
ReplyDeleteWOW shot Annie!

I guess I've been living under a rock since I've never heard of sundogs. Very cool though.
ReplyDeleteVery nice getting both sundogs! I usually only manage one, if I get lucky.
ReplyDeleteBoth sides at once is a little rare. LOVE sundogs! I've only seen one in the last 6 weeks!
