The cold blue skies of Friday last were greeted with an arrival of a couple of lovely Sun dogs.
These "mock suns" as they are also called hung around for most of the day.
The sun dogs are produced by a dance between sunlight and ice crystals in our atmosphere.
The ice crystals act like prisms and scatter the sunlight into a colourful light show.
It's been ages since I've have seen such a prominent display.
The appearance of Sun dogs is not limited just to the winter months.
One of the best displays I have seen occurred back in 2016 in the month of July.
