The weather here near Seattle has unexpectedly cleared and dried as a high pressure system has begun to dominate the area.

This weekend my mother, my wife, and I went to spend time at our small family cabin on the shores of North Bay, Case Inlet, a branch of Puget Sound.

This morning the sun rose behind a thin layer of high clouds, creating a beautiful, bright, definitely multi-hued, parahelion.

The nice thing was that as I came out of the cabin just after waking, to see what ducks and other birds were around, I first saw the parahelion reflected in the water. Only then did I look up to see the "original."

The reflection continued for maybe 15 or 20 minutes. This was the first time I had ever seen such a reflection. And me without a camera!
