Sundogs, Rainbow, Bees, Ray's, Mailbox, Barn and Venue

 Do you know what a sun dog is?

A sun dog is like a rainbow, only
without the rain.
Below, right side of the tree.

I saw this one Oct. 26.

The one below shows the sun dogs
on each side of the sun.
I took this last week.


I have not seen sun dogs that often
in my life but BAM, here are two 
close together.

How Sun Dogs Form

Hexagonal plate-shaped ice crystal refract and scatter light. As the plates fall toward the ground, they orient horizontally and collectively act as a prism. The horizontal aspect of the crystals refracts the light in a horizontal line with respect to the Sun. Larger crystals wobble more as they fall and produce taller sun dogs. Other ice crystal shapes similarly refract light and affect a sun dog’s shape and size. These ice crystals occur in cirrus and cirrostratus clouds and in diamond dust drifting at lower altitudes.


Then out of the blue, no rain, I look
out of DG and there is a rainbow yesterday
evening. 

 When I stepped out of the store,
it started to sprinkle.
Within two seconds, just as I got in 
the car, it was pouring.
And within two minutes, 
hail. 
CRAZY.

Wind came in, and 
the coldest temps.
It was 60 some odd degrees
but today (Sat), mid 40's.

 This is not good news.


When I went last week to 
to Lebanon, on the other side
of Nashville to visit my
brother I snapped some pics.
Many years ago Ray made this.
Its made out of cedar and its 
a full size.

Cool design.
He is like me, loves things
to place in the yard.

He got this next yard decor
for my sis in law.

So cool.

I have shared these with you 
before, Sinclair and mini
Sinclair.
This next pic is NOT
my sis in law...
but I had my pic made with her.

I also found this on a back
road from James and Julies place.
And this on the way to Ray's...
I love a good ole barn, weathered
by the elements and still standing tall.

I was at the venue a few weeks ago, 
James was saving an old bike for me to 
put in my yard/flower decor. 
I took this shot from the garage.
Looks so different with the trees that 
had to be cut back. 

 

 I miss the venue and I am sure
once James and Julie get moved,
they will miss it also.
