I see the incurable sickness persists. :-)

 

What's that thing above the sun that looks like lens flare?

I have been told that it is called a sun dog, but I am uncertain what a sun dog is and whether or not that is one. And yes the sickness persists though this is a sunrise.

Sunrise, huh? Coulda fooled me!

 

I'm vaguely familiar with Parhelia, but couldn't tell you if this is one. I'm curious now.

 

Stayed up all night waiting for skies to clear hoping to shoot the Perseid meteor shower, but no luck. Wanted to stay for sunrise but was too tired..

I don't think that we will get to see the Perseids this year (I am about four hours drive from you) due to clouds from Bonnie and Charley. Maybe Saturday night there will be a break. Last year's Perseids I fell asleep in a lawn chair while watching them, but they were great until I took my nap.

John, get a load of this, if you haven't seen it already:

Thanks for the heads up Michael, I had not seen that thread. I'll have to make a visit to Radio Shack.
