Last week someone had posted photos of a (sun dog?). I had never even seen one before. I guess seeing one caused me to look for them. I caught one!! Just a little one, but one non the less. I'm jazzed. :)

Forgot the thumb

What "is" a sundog?

Edit: Found it...
A sun dog or sundog (scientific name parhelion, plural parhelia, e.g. "with the sun") is a relatively common halo, an atmospheric optical phenomenon mostly associated with the refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals making up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. Another term used is sunbow (an arch resembling a rainbow made by the sun shining through vapor or mist).

Have a look at the whole thing here: Sundog

Yup and apparently it made up of Tubes but they sometimes get clogged with horses and chips which can slow the interweb down untill the tubes get cleaned out...

nice capture. you'd be surprised by how often you will see them. I just recently learned that using a circular polerizer really increases the colors. I had a partrial rainbow a couple weeks ago that was pretty cool cause as the clouds behind it moved across the sky it moved along with it (I know, of course it would move, it is made from the clouds, but I have never seen anything like this), I'll try and get them posted, it was kind of fun to watch. Well decided to put in a video instead Moving rainbow kind of hard to notice it moving.

Atmospheric phenomena happen all the time. We just need to keep our eyes open and cameras ready.
