Whoa, do you get to see sundogs often? That's amazing! I've never seen one before except in photos, and yours looks like the clearest most distinct one I've ever seen. What a treat for you! Thanks so much for sharing that treat with us, KJ. Way cool. 8-)

Sundogs are very common. I see them quite often. Some are brighter than others like for example this one
