look at the sun set tonight a rainbow around the sun****I wonder what that means????Hugs Carolyn

Looks real pretty Carolyn.... I don't know what it means, but it's pretty.

Carolyn, we've always heard that when there's a "sun dog" (rainbow around the sun) it's a sign of hot weather to come. Today in Oliver it was 31C at 5:00 pm. We were on the road for most of the day taking a friend to an eye specialist in Kelowna so I have no idea how high the temperature was during the day. I do know we were very thankful to have a/c in the car!! Blessings to you, Avis

God is in His heaven and all is right in your world.

God Bless

I means you are the lucky winner today!

There was a saying my Dad taught me that went:
"Rainbow at night is the Shepherds delight, rainbow in the morning is the Shepherds warning."
Which translated to: it would rain that day if there was a rainbow in the morning, but it would be rain free the next day if there was a late afternoon rainbow.

I have no idea where this came from or how accurate it was but it always sounded so good. hugs, M

Sounds akin to the sailor saying: Red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky at morning, sailor's warning. (of bad weather ahead)

Hi Betsey, that's the one I know too. Love Chris

Gorgeous! Lucky you for seeing it up close and personal! Thanks for sharing your picture.

it's beautiful!!

And to answer the question:
It’s commonly referred to as a 22-degree halo, or a sun halo.
A 22-degree halo is created by tiny ice crystals in high cirrostratus clouds. The sunlight refracts through the ice at a 22 degree angle, creating the halo effect.
And it's wonderful to see indeed :)

Not sure what that means, but it is beautiful.

A ray of sunshine and love is coming your way .

Awesome.

Beautiful Carolyn!/Lillian
