Chemocurl -- that's the iris i've been looking for LOL!! Your too funny. Hi Nancy - unfortunatley it's not Lead Dog but i'll be looking up dog rose. ctmark - i'll going to look up Fancy Dog. Now that i'm thinking......maybe it didn't have "dog" in it,but it was a really unusual name (like an ugly name for a beautiful flower)

We get sun dogs quite often here in Minnesota. You are right it is a reflection through the ice crystals in the upper atsmophere. It usually is a sign of colder weather coming. We have double sun dogs or one on each side of the sun and that means we are really in for it!

Help picking seed in TN

I went with The Hogan Co. tall fescue blend in the fall of 2013 for a full reno here in central NC. The blend was equal amounts of Bullseye, Turbo, and Hemi. So far I have been extremely happy with it. I have areas of full sun and mild shade and it's held up well there. My back lawn is somewhat shady and it's fenced in with 3 small dogs. Not sure anything outside of artificial turf is going to stand up to heavy dog traffic. It has worked ok so far but will need overseeding every fall to repair the "doggy damage". Pee spots haven't really been an issue but the traffic has. Around here there are no local suppliers that sell good quality seed which is mainly why I ordered from Hogan. Their customer service is excellent and they are just plain good folks to deal with.

Great photo!! Yes, I learned on this forum, what a sundog was. I photographed many in the past, but never knew them by the name, 'sundog'. You fooled me, too!

Maggie sure looks comfortable.

Nice photos also, Konrad! I really like the first one where the sundog is at the tip of that cloud. It looks as though the cloud is smoke coming from a burning ember.

OK educate me...what is a sundog? A place where the sun is reflecting off/through a cloud?

From Wikipedia...

A sun dog or sundog (scientific name parhelion) is a relatively common atmospheric optical phenomenon associated with the refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals that make up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds.

Sundogs typically appear as a bright and colorful patch in the sky at a position 22 degrees or more to the left and/or right of the sun. They are a halo.

Thank you all!

Yes KT!

Last year when I posted it,.....never knew what it was,... some of you educated me!

The sundog in the picture only shoes one half, [should be two] the other half on the left probably was there but at the time have never looked for, I think it was behind some houses.
If you google, something should come up.
