Tag Archives: Sundog

•

A week ago Wednesday, a sundog appeared off Point Arena. Mel Smith captured the beauty.

Sundogs are a type of halo that appears when sunlight refracts off ice crystals in the atmosphere. These ice crystals are usually hexagonal and are often found in high-altitude cirrus clouds.

Thanks to Mel for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

ooo, it's hot at Rick's and my place today but it's perfect right on the bluffs. Bonus sighting: Humpback whales have been seen in numbers!

We don't see them very often but Shari Goforth-Eby managed to photograph a Sundog recently.

Folklore says that it's good luck to see one!

Thanks to Shari for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Today the clouds moved in and the temperature fell to 47 degrees. It was near 70 degrees yesterday, talk about whiplash. There was a brief but heavy downpour in the noon hour with more rain due in soon.
