Extraordinary sighting from our ranch facing south to the face of Big Horn mountains. I was standing by our barn and was utterly amazed by the the colors in the middle of a bright sunny cloudless day. It was a very large ball of hot yellow surrounded by a luminous green ring with an impressive and very long bright, bright green tail.
The person I was standing with caught the event from the corner of her eye but was not standing at the angle I was to see for her to have seen it full on as I did. The memory will be burned in my mind’s eye forever.
