What does a ring around the sun mean? My mom says it is a change in the weather, and I believe her. Within an hour of taking this blue sky photo of the sun, the clouds rolled in and it has been overcast and raining on and off since!

Wow! What a shot! Yes, I've always heard that a ring around the sun signals rain...hope it doesn't last too long!
Awesome shot!
Wicked cool photo! I love it.
I have always been told this is a 'sun dog.' A similar sight around the moon, would be a 'moon dog.' They are formed by ice crystals high in the atmosphere... nicely captured.
Great shot!

i saw it too...
These are always fun to shoot if you are careful!
Everybody's dancing in a ring around the sun
Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun
So take off your shoes child, take off your hat
Try on your wings and find out where it's at!
