And I shall call him Spot, the Sun Dog

Moab Man · Mar 16, 2015

Saw my first Sun Dog today. A number of people have told me they haven't seen them this large. I had to severely underexpose to capture it as the sun was so close it would blow everything out.

And now I present... Spot

Is this the only time of year it happens?

Spot could become as famous as Puff the Magic Dragon or at least as famous as Mai's puppies.

I have no idea. I didn't even know what it was until I solicited some friends.

I didn't either just just hoping when I'm in the area again I will see one. Thanks

I usually hear about them once or twice a year.
