sun pillar

Clear & cold. Driving by a field in New Haven the other day that had been full of pumpkins just a few weeks ago. It has been plowed under, and is totally bare, waiting for spring. I bought a little Canon camera shortly after I started putting photos on this blog. I keep it with me most of the time. I saw this the other day when I was driving to work. It's called a sun pillar. It occurs when ice crystals meet the rising sun. Another small miracle from here on the other side of the creek
