Irridescence

Here is a phenomenon that looks similar to a sun dog.  A sun dog has a clear arc-shape to it.  This, however, doesn't have a defined edge to it. So, it is just an area of irridescence, where sunlight is scattered in many directions, creating an area of multiple colors. Taken January 22, 2015.

Rainbow - Wed, Sep 2, 2015

Driving across town, I spotted this rainbow. I don't see rainbows very often here, though that may be my fault for not being in the right place at the right time. Regardless, this is one of the most fantastic rainbows I have seen on a while. It even sported a secondary rainbow.

Halo

A halo that I saw coming home from work on Monday, February 23, 2015.  Halos appear best through high-level stratus clouds.  These are likely thinner altostratus clouds.

Ice Crystals

I was cleaning out the freezer a little the other day and saw these beautiful ice crystals. How could I resist?
