Aurora Borealis

 Eric has told me stories, many times, of college days in the far north, watching the Northern Lights dance across the dark winter skies.  I'd never seen them in real life; only in pictures and on TV.

For a month, Facebook feeds were crawling with pictures that people were posting of the magnificent natural spectacle.  I was eager to see them!

During the last few days, my Facebook feed was blowing up again with notes that the Aurora Borealis would be intense this week, given the skies were clear.

Last night, we had good weather and not many clouds.   Eric and I went outside.  I didn't see a lot at first.  We went back a few minutes later and I could see the yellow lights dancing in the sky.  It was gorgeous!  I took some pics.  The pics are much more colorful than the actual Northern Lights that we saw.

Part of the time, I was just taking pictures, as the lights weren't very bright.  Again, the photos were much more vibrant.

This particular picture below really creeped us out.  I just took it blindly as I was looking at the sky.  The blob in the upper left is my finger.  The blob in the lower left is the top of a tree.  The orange thing bolting from the sky was "the something" that gave us the willies... big time.   

As I zoomed into the picture on my phone, it looks like a devil/demon, headed towards the earth.  I'm no conspiracy theoriest, but this one was really strange!

Needless to say, I said a few extra prayers that night, just to be safe!!  😁
