​In 1976 Sun Dog was the first work of art ever commissioned by the
National Endowment for the Arts.

Sun dogs are a member of a large family of halos, created by light interacting with ice crystals in the atmosphere. Sun dogs appear as two subtly colored patches of light approximately 22° to the left and right of the Sun.

Flamingo Beach in Sun Dog

"Hurricane Idalia is being credited with delivering a flamingo-palooza to the Eastern United States this week.
The iconic, pink plumaged birds first started showing up all over Florida, on both coasts and the northern Gulf Coast as Hurricane Idalia passed. By Saturday however, three days after landfall, flamingo sightings had been reported in Alabama, South and North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia.” - USA Today, September 3, 2023
