I guess I'm just into Rainbows!!

Can you blame me? We have had so much rain this spring that I thought my toes were beginning to web!! So whenever the sun shines I run outside to look around. This morning, as I was sitting on the deck doing my bible study lesson I happened to see the Sun Dog. Which is a rainbow too, just not in a traditional sense.

Scientifically speaking: A sun dog or sundog (scientific name parhelion,) is an atmospheric phenomenon that creates bright spots of light in the sky, often on a luminous ring or halo on either side of the sun.[1] (formed by ice crystals)

Sundogs may appear as a colored patch of light to the left or right of the sun, 22° distant and at the same distance above the horizon as the sun, and in ice halos. They can be seen anywhere in the world during any season, but they are not always obvious or bright. Sundogs are best seen and are most conspicuous when the sun is low. (info taken from Wikipedia)


Not so scientifically speaking: Another confirmation of God's promise!!
