Where I keep my knit hats, my mommy eyes, and my writing muse
Yes, I know. I said I was going to take today off, but there was a rainbow in the clouds this morning. A rainbow when it was 20 degrees out and not raining. It is a nature mystery that I had to share.
Anyone know what this meteorological phenomena is called? Google is failing me.

Sounds and looks a bit like a sun dog, Johanna. That’s part of the sun’s halo peeking out and sometimes looks very rainbowy.

I’d never heard of that. I’ll tuck it away in my trivia bank, the only stuff my brain seems to hold these days. 😉

I have that same problem. Names escape me now. I can remember when I met you, where I met you and what you were wearing, but I sure won’t remember your name. I bet I remember sundog too. It’s pretty unusual.

Of course you know! You always know random things like this. Your brain is filled with random magical science information. I should have just texted you the picture.

According to planetseed.com – it’s called a parhelion, or sundog.
“It forms when the Sun is relatively low in the sky—in the morning or evening—under the right conditions, namely when there are flat ice crystals in the high cirrus clouds. The crystals are floating along with the flattest face lying horizontally, so when light passes through the narrowest sides it gets bent. Just as when light passes through a prism, the colors get separated.”

Sundog. I want it to have a much nicer name like whirled fairy dust. I think you are right though. It was a sundog.

Oh, so much more sophisticated than a Sun Dog. Roxie, you are such a smart kitty, and pretty, and soft.

She is purring as I read this to her. Roxie adores compliments, but she really is smart, pretty and soft. And she bites!
