As I was driving east through the city this morning, I saw a pair of sun dogs to the southeast. Our photographer, Laura Wehde, went out and snapped this photo of one of them.
According to Wikipedia, "Sun dogs are formed by plate-shaped, hexagonal ice crystals in high and cold cirrus clouds or – during very cold weather – by ice crystals called diamond dust drifting in the air at low level."
Nice photo Ms. Wehde. Too bad we have to freeze to see this kind of natural beauty!
Saw them, too. Very pretty.
My husband and I have been seeing sundogs in the late afternoon in the west for the past couple of days. They are beautiful but I agree with Trudy – too bad it has to be so cold to see them!!
