New Years Eve Sun Dogs

A very colorful pair of Sun Dogs appeared in the sky above our yard this morning. They were associated with a faint 22 degree halo. The show lasted for over 90 minutes, so I had time to photograph from various windows and also from out in the yard. The above photo shows one of the pair taken from outside our house on this well-below-zero morning.

Below is the view from our top floor, standing in an empty bathtub. You can see that the trees are still icy from the freezing rain before Christmas.

Our cat, Rilla, didn’t know which way to look for them, but she sure was having fun following me around the house.  She must have sensed my excitement.

For another photo from our yard, I “hid” the sun behind a tree.

Below is a photo that shows a piece of our house and deck.

I wanted to show how colorful the Sun Dogs were so I took a number of photos with a long lens. Here are a few of them.
