Finally saw a halo around the sun

It's one thing to see the pictures, but when I looked up noticed this it actually startled me for a second. Just never seen this with my own eyes till today, and I've never taken any pics I felt worthy of putting on ATS till today. Sorry If this is lame to everyone else.

Definitely not lame, I enjoy when others post these

I saw my first one about a month or so ago. I took pics and started a thread on it as well. I don't blame you for being happy. I was pretty fascinated myself. You are right though, the pictures don't compare to the real thing, but the pics are still worth posting for others to see.

Nice!! I saw a pretty cool halo around the moon a couple weeks ago. I really need to start taking more photos of stuff like I used to.

Here is a shot of the one from today here on the southern Texas boarder. I only got one shot because I have seen it before.
There were quite a few people straining to look up all over the place today. It was almost the top story on the local news.
People are easily entertained.
Enjoy.

I'm no expert but it just looks like a reflection on the atmosphere like a rainbow.
