Yesterday's Sun Dog

This is a recreation of yesterday's sun dog that I witnessed at about 4p.m. on the Iowa Tundra. It was actually very pretty as it looked like a rainbow on the blah, blizzardy, horizon. There were many reasons why I, myself, did not get a snapshot:
1. I was bucking snow drifts on the highway and was scared to slow down and get stuck.
2. Frostbite occurs quickly at -25.
3. Every time I looked straight at it, my corneas started burning and
4. It would have taken my entire memory card to get enough pictures that I could paste together to get the entire scene.

So thats the Iowa tundra, hugh?
It is pretty but only from looking
at it as a picture. Wouldn't want
to be out and check it over especially if we were having a
wind chill of -25. I'm a home
body when it comes to cold weather,
unless you say " Tama" and then
I can RIDE ALONG not fearing of
freezing to death. Now the Barbie/birds deal- didn't really get
into that.
