SUNDOGS

My first time seeing ‘Sundogs’!

And it was absolutely beautiful!!!

This was a morning that we had a 2 hour delay at school.  I noticed them right away in the morning and took tons of pictures!  They were in the sky until about 9:30 or so.  They were so cool!

‘Sundogs, also known as mock suns or "parhelia", are a pair of brightly colored spots, one on either side of the sun. Sundogs form as sunlight is refracted by hexagonal plate-like ice crystals with diameters larger than 30 micrometers and their flat faces horizontally oriented.’
