I spent the morning down at the orienteering meet helping out for National Orienteering Day [I'm sure you all took the day off to go orienteering, right?]. I didn't run because my leg still hurts from falling into a cactus yesterday while vetting the red course. However, inbetween getting people's start times and finish times, I was keeping my eye on some thin whispy cirrus clouds that had moved in. I know that they are the ones that sometimes reveal fancy atmospheric optical phenomena.

And around noon I got to see my first 22-degree solar halo! Came out great with my DSLR, which I happened to have in the truck. As a bonus, a plane flew over the top of the clouds and its contrail left a great shadow. I put these pictures along with all of my recent shots of the sky together into a new album here.
