I am thrilled to present a photo that Cyndie sent me, taken with her iPhone yesterday morning on her way up to the house from the barn, after feeding the horses:

Sundog

IMG_3268eThat sun dog hung around for a long time after sunrise for us. On her way down to the barn, despite an excruciating headache from a sinus infection, she called me and told me to get my camera and take pictures of the sunrise. I was skeptical that I would be able to get a workable shot looking directly at the sun with my little pocket camera, but I gave it a try. This is my version from about a half-hour earlier than hers:

Just the night before, I had been trying to capture how the setting sun was illuminating all the icy branches of the trees. None of my attempts were able to match what I could see with my eyes, but I did end up with a sunset shot that I like a lot.

While reviewing the sun dog shots from the morning, I realized I had captured the sun setting on our horizon the very evening before. I think they make a nice pair.

  1. The first picture is impressive, looks like a medicine wheel. Hope Cyndie is feeling better.

    • Maybe a sun dog was an inspiration for the first medicine wheel… Cyndie says she thinks she has finally turned the corner, after spending 4-days home from work, waiting for the antibiotics to kick in and give her some relief. Thank you!
