Look what I seen taday!

Had to go out on "rounds" and got into town as this showed up...

These are hard to get good photos of unless you have some super filters. This one was mirrored with the beginning of a mirrored prism above it, they are so big its hard to get it all in one frame, as you can see I didn't have a super lens.

it was right outside! I have too many trees up at my place so I migrated to town where my mailbox is and this came out just as I got to town. They only appear for a spell and then they're gone like any other rainbow-like phenomena. And being the sucker that I am, I try to get pictures of every one!

It's partially mirrored one. In the middle picture you can see the portion of the mirrored circle getting started. Has to be about -35F to get the full on double mirrored kind, this one had the full primary circle but it's hard to capture.

I caught one here one day, in fact there were several. So many cool things in the sky. Very nice pictures. I never have my good camera with me when I see these things darn it but my phone does a pretty good job.

Thanks for sharing these pictures.
