I don't think sundogs are limited to winter -- I have seen them in haze during other seasons. They look like a piece of a rainbow that would make a full circle around the sun. Depending on the clouds/haze, you can get pieces on opposite sides of the sun at the same time. They're beautiful!

nifty! I have only seen them in winter but I will have to keep my eye out for them more often. :)
