Beauty on the Tundra


This is a sun dog. It happens when it gets extremely cold. Moisture crystallizes in the air, the reflecting sun makes small rainbows. Its looks a really large lens flare, but this is actually in the sky, not caused by my camera lens.



There was lots of snow. On the last Sunday we were home, the trees glistened with frost ( I didn't get a picture). The world was white...and then the snow plows came by and that clean white, became a dirty gray mess that makes good people cuss.



This is what we drove in several days, not snowing just blowing.

Oh gosh. How fun it is to drive through the midwest in the winter! I love the snow and enjoy how beautiful it makes everything look this time of year. Glad you are home, safe and warm.
