The other night, while curled up on the sofa with Button, I spotted a sun dog. No, not a labrador playing abound the sun, this is a meteorological phenomenon which is a bit like an upright mini rainbow (er without the bowing effect). It was to the right hand side of the sun so "after" the sun and seen as a portent of bad weather. It seems it was correct as we had a big storm the next day!
If the sun dog is "ahint" (behind) the sun, like all "good" dogs should be, then it foretells good weather - apparently. Anyway these aren't great pictures but it was a lovely display to watch. I love the big skies here.
Hi Sian. Sorry to hear you've been unwell, hope you get better soon. The sun dog looks amazing. We hope we can meet up next year when we come up again.

Beginning to feel MUCH better thanks. It would be great to meet up next year!
Deletevery interesting, it reminds me of some of those strange meteorological phenomena that Amy Liptrot mentions in 'the Outrun'. Hope your feeling a lot better now.Mark
ReplyDeleteWith the big skies we get a great opportunity to view all sorts of magical stuff :-)
