Rainbows in the Clouds?
While wandering about the other day amongst the wind generators atop the hills, I saw such a cool thing!
Of course, first I attributed it to my sunglasses. I removed them and it was still there! So, it must be that dark blue strip at the top of the windshield, right? Nope. I stepped out of the Explorer and it was still there!
Can someone explain this? (I am supposing it must have something to do with moisture and sun?)

What a lovely “sundog”! How lucky you were to catch such a nice photo of one.
According to Cy, sundogs are caused by light from the sun being refracted through ice crystals in the atmosphere. A sundog often has a “mate”, of similar appearance, on the other side of the sun.
I love sundogs! There are moondogs too… hence the name Moondoggy from way back when
It took me forever to get Mikey to be able to see them. He wasn’t understanding it for some reason. I see them a lot and he would always say I was crazy and seeing things until he saw one one day on his own. Then he understood the “coolness” of them.
