In addition to the two spheres to the left and right of the sun, there was one above it as well. In fact, there was dang near a complete circle of light connecting all 3 sundogs (the sun was still pretty low in the sky, so no 4th).

In NoDak, them dogs run in packs!
Zuma:
I think there is a dog fish on each side of the sun >:D
The phone photo just does not do the pastel colors justice.
It's sixty degrees with a wind chill of sixty one.

Does this count as a sun dog? A few days later it finally snowed...
Hawkdancer:
I think that dog is barking! We get those here on the Lee side of the Rockies, too. I haven't checked the official specs on sun dogs lately, but if I remember correctly, it is a reflected image of the sun on a different plane, with or with out cloud or ice crystals. Sort of from Meteorolgy 101 about 1961! Feel free to correct/update me

Great pictures everyone. Ed I know this isn't sun dog I'm talking about but Zuma's pictures reminded me of a rainbow I saw one time. When I was still a bachelor and for some reason had more time and money I flew my Cessna 150 every chance I got. One afternoon my brother and I went up. There where very light showers passing through and we were flying along the shore of Lake Huron. Out over the lake was a brilliant rainbow and it was a complete circle. Actually a double rainbow with two complete circles. Sorry no pictures but diffinatly one of those sights you never forget.
