What an incredible experience to witness this while out power walking with my husband and dog. We were already admiring the gorgeous morning, then to see this together was so cool! My husband literally started running up the street like a little kid to chase it so that he could see it go behind a neighbor's house. Our teenage kids didn't believe our story. Now we get to prove them wrong! Ha!
