Sundog colors sky clouds

I stopped to get gas on the way to w*rk, and there was a sundog right in front of me, facing south in Fort Myers Shores. By the time I grabbed my camera it had gotten smaller and faded a bit, but it was still pretty.

A sundog is an atmospheric optical phenomenon primarily associated with the reflection or refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals making up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. Here's the rest of the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog
