Here’s a sundog that looks a bit sun-angelic to me.
We’ve been having quite a few sundogs here lately.
This one showed up so well in my photo from the
evening of Father’s Day that I decided to share it.
A half hour later the sundog looked somewhat like a rainbow sun-arrow.
It’s fun spotting atmosphere phenomenon and it’s a happy bonus when I have my camera available to ‘try’ and capture it to share with you.
Beautiful!!! I never knew about sundogs until my son taught me. It is special to see one. Thanks for sharing!

You’re Welcome Dianna 🙂
I can’t figure out why I’d never heard of them until about 10 years ago. Back then, I photographed an upside-down rainbow. It was so odd and as I was surfing the net to find out info on that phenomenon I also learned about sundogs.
Marshall’s a peach.
We learn alot from our kids (and grandkids). 🙂

I have never heard of sundogs until I saw your post – so of course, I had to google it! They are fascinating, and I guess you were lucky to be able to photograph them. Seeing an upside down rainbow must have been awesome too.

The upside-down rainbow was fun to see, but my most favorite rainbow sighting was a fire-rainbow. My husband & I were coming home from shopping when we saw it in the sky. We didn’t have a camera, but we pulled over and watched until it totally dissipated. It was awesome! The sky is a magical sight sometimes. 🙂

Beautiful. . . Sundog is a new term for me. I’ve seen them, but didn’t know what they were called.

It’s funny how we see things and never think about what they’re called. It’s also funny why someone would call a solar anomaly a dog. I guess even scientists enjoy a bit of whimsy now and then. lol 🙂
