Sun Dogs

"Sun dogs are beautiful accents to a winter day or night

as the rainbow is to a showery Summer day."

-Hal Borland

To tell you the truth, until this morning, I had never even heard of them. After he took the kiddos to school, Brett asked if I had seen the "sun dogs" outside. The what???? We went to the window so he could show me. Way pretty! They only lasted for a bit this morning and then they were gone.
So what are Sun dogs, you ask? "Sun dogs, or mock suns, are technically called solar parhelia (parhelia meaning "with the sun") and appear as bright bursts of light formed when sunlight passes through ice crystals at the proper angle." So there's your Science lesson for the week courtesy of the Seamons. ......You're welcome. Enjoy!
Brett did get another shot while he was out.

It looks like the Star of Bethlehem brought to you by

the Beautiful Fargo Snow.

Tis the Season! (I mean, almost ;)
