Sun Dogs Spotted Near Blue Mountain

Have you ever heard of a SUN DOG?

According to a wiki explanation I found, they are 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.  They are caused by ice crystals called diamond dust drifting in the air at low levels.

Here is a fantastic photo sent to me by my client (and now friend), E.H. Scott that he took yesterday morning from his back deck up on the mountain.
