Sundogs In The Sky On Boat Meadows Beach On Cape Cod

Phil and I were taking a walk on the beach on Christmas Day when we looked up in the sky and we saw the sun with distinct spots on either side of it.

In posting it on our Enjoying Cape Cod Facebook page, one of our friends wrote and told us they were Sundogs. These Sundogs are  also known as mock suns or “parhelia”, with a pair of brightly colored spots, one on either side of the sun.

Very cool, don’t you think? Have you ever seen a Sundog?
