The northern hemisphere has been experiencing a period of high solar activity for the past few days. As we’ve had cloudy skies and rain, I didn’t think much about going out to try to see them like I did in May.
Only after seeing a friend’s pictures on social media did I take my camera out to the front yard. Because of the house and trees, I didn’t have a clear view of the northern skies, but I was excited with what I saw through my viewfinder.
I snapped these first images at 8 pm–a beautiful purple but not nearly as dramatic as the pics others were sharing. Still, I was happy to have viewed the aurora borealis. I had half a thought of driving in search of a better view, but neither Paul nor Hannah were feeling the adventure.
Before heading to bed at 11 pm, I stood in my jammies and slippers in the front yard for one more look. And WOW! The skies were brighter than ever.
Magical.
Stunningly beautiful, Susan! Thank you for always sharing.
