These photos were shot late last night with the Nikin and 200mm Nikkor. We see rings around the sun and the moon. My grandfather taught me decades ago that a ring around the sun can mean rain or snow is on the way. Apparently, there was plenty of moisture up there late last night. Backyard photography is fun. 😂

How interesting. The rings turned out nicely in your pictures.
John, I don’t know how you got these halos but they are fantastic and added so much to your beautiful photos. Excellent!!!
Thanks very much, Kaya! The ring was just there so I grabbed the Nikon for the shots. It’s the same thing as the ring around the sun in daylight.
I didn’t know that about the rings, I will be checking now !
Cool! I suppose there must be the right amount of water vapor up there to get the ring to show, it’s the same thing as the ring around the sun in daylight. ☺️
How beautiful and I didn’t know that about the rings. So interesting!
Thank you, Pooja! Have you ever seen the ring around the sun too? ☺️
Nope, I rarely notice such stuff but now I’ll be looking out for it thanks to this post!
These rings caught my attention John.
Thank you, Anita, now you will be looking up at night for that ring, it’s not always there. Same thing for the sun!
