The Northern Lights were visible in my part of the world recently.

.

.

And even though we had a little too much cloud cover to make them spectacular….

.

.

This was only the second time in my life I’ve experienced them so I stood out in the cold in my pajamas taking pictures like a fool anyway.

.

.

Pure magic.

.

.

No matter how faint the glow.

Our neighbor called at 7:30 last night and screamed at us to “Go outside right now!”. From the tone of her voice I figured we were being invaded by herds of rabid moose… but when I stepped off the front porch steps ?

.

.

Wow.

.

.

I’m 60 years old and have never seen the Northern Lights in person..

.

.

And there they were, right over our house.

.

.

Again, wow.

.

.

My photos don’t do them justice..

.

.

But the husband and I stood out on the lawn like total weirdos snapping pictures for half an hour.

.

.

It was a truly magical experience.

.

.

I’m not sure I completely understand what causes the phenomenon …

.

.

But I thoroughly enjoyed it all the same.
