Check this picture out! Big Brother shared this with me!
Is that not MOST beautiful!?! Photographer Harald Edens, the person who took this picture, says it is a Pollen Corona. When the Juniper Trees in New Mexico release their pollen, sometimes there is so much of it in the sky, the sun shining thru it makes for a spectacular display. He went on to say this is one of the best he has seen in 14 years. I'm remembering now that I HAVE seen this or a similar phenomenon several times as a kid on the desert. I asked Mama what it was and she thought it was humidity in the air causing a rainbow around the sun. That phenomenon is called a sun halo. Anyway, I'm not sure which I have seen or if I have seen both. But I do know they are beautiful!!
