have you ever seen the magic of the aurora borealis?
sadly, i have not.
not yet.
the dancing delight known as the northern lights was rumoured to make a rare appearance in our southern ontario skies last night.
while we didn't see it ourselves, (so glad others nearby did!) it sure was fun night skywatching.
oh summertime.. your skies are so amazing!

YES!!!! Believe or not...I actually witnessed this wonder of the heavens from my back deck in VIRGINIA!! Back in 2003 I happened to be standing on my back deck just looking at the stars and all of a sudden I saw bands of colors moving in waves. I thought I was seeing things. After rubbing my eyes, I still was seeing them and quickly called everyone I knew to tell them to go outside and look up. I will most likely never see something like that again. It was fabulous!!!!

I wish! I have wanted to for some time! My Husband is from Wisconsin and he tells me stories. Someday though, it shall happen! Just beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteSupposedly we are supposed to see this tonight here in Seattle.
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful! Unfortunately I've never seen them either. Hopefully someday I'll see them on a visit...because I doubt I'll see them here in Tennessee :)

I've been lucky enough to see it 3 times each time its happened has just been awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe first time was on the way back from having tea at the sea side, my mum screamed 'stop the car!' We all jumped out gasped, lay on the bonnet and watched until it vanished. It was bright shimmering fingers of blue and green. Beautiful.
so gorgeous! i have been lucky enough to see them a few times, though nothing so bright and gorgeous with all those colours!
ReplyDeletestunning nonetheless, i have seen gorgeous green waves dancing in the sky. it is certainly a sight to behold :)
While I have never been lucky enough to see them, I was lucky enough to find you through Canadian Moms today!
ReplyDeleteYou have a gorgeous blog; I'll be back!

Oh, yes! One of the benefits of living in "the great white north"! They never loose their appeal no matter how many times you have seen them, and if you have "heard" them, you are extra lucky! My best memories are of camping, and looking up to the heavens while watching for shooting stars, and next to that, in the winter months when they seem extraordinarily active.
ReplyDeleteI have had the great honor of seeing this magical wonder in Idaho! It was really just a glimmer of ever-so-faint green shimmer off on the horizon. I'm told this visibilty is a rarity in my part of the world, and the awesome company of a very dear friend made it all the more magical!
ReplyDeleteOh this is a dream of mine, kristalk - samesame with you and I! Love this! xo
ReplyDeleteamazingly beautiful - I wish I could see it for myself as well. As far as I know it is not that uncommon in Norther Europe, so one day I might show up there to see this phenomena.
