Took the girls out to the desert behind the house to watch the lights tonight.

God is great

I just put it on the night setting, Galaxy phone

Ps there is a big mountain directly north of me that blocks a bunxh of my ciew. Love the reflection yote.

I just stole the picture from my neighbor lady, who took it tonight, off facebook. lol

Same location over the course of maybe a minute. It was an early show. The really glorious ones occur in January/February.

Gorgeous pictures mad_mike! Can’t compete with what you get up there.

Glad you all are getting a show down there. Clouds have rolled in. Buh by sky….

And just like that, someone turned the lights off.

When I stepped out to the bathroom this morning…I was greeted by the show

Gods handy work for sure.
The description of Gods throne in scripture is of Emerald, Amber, and fire type color's.

I live in the woods we could only see a pink hue above the trees, but the neighbor sent this, may drive to his house tonight and look from his yard.

They are saying they will be out stronger tonight then last night.

Beautiful heaven hugs.

I had about 10mn of this directly overhead. Because they were 4-5 sec exposures the waves of moving light aren’t visible. By the time I tried to take video they weren’t nearly as brilliant. Not phone camera expert so I didn’t realize they first dozen pics were long exposures and I messed them up moving phone while still exposing. Pics near horizon were S never seen before here barely over N horizon. Cloud cover broke here just in time.

Pretty vivid displays especially for that far south.

Most of you may not be where it is completely quiet but if you are.........it is sometimes possible to hear a crackling noise created by the aurora. It is faint but definite

Now, that'd be very cool !

Took one as well last night. Wondering if there'll be more tonight.

So many great shots, from southern states , too.

Here, the lights are fairly common, as bright as anywhere at times, or slight. Here's a share from two nights ago .

I have been in a favorite town of mine for some days, invited to attend by a small group of veterans , enjoying large bore rifle shooting on a private estate, with an amazing view of the mountains. One of them, a retired Special Forces vet, has a Weatherby MV , as I do, but he said he's never seen such gorgeous wood grain as mine. Just like the Northern Lights in appearance. He jokingly asked if I would trade mine for his.

We enjoyed the evenings in story sharing, some of their experiences in their service. Every story was appreciated to every word.

They loved hearing me share some of my favorite book reading, poems, also some of Jack's stories. And singing a little. It was discussed that I start a volunteer program, with a veterans' organization there, to read aloud to vets once a week from an interesting book. To a man, they encouraged such a program, that they, and any veterans can attend, find soothing and refreshing from their daily cares. I thought it was a great idea.

Veterans Day was a wonderful time for me, amidst wonderful company.

The lights were icing on the cake. Investing in my iPhone for the camera quality was among the best choices I've made, taking the place of the scanner for large art formats as well. Thank you , JR, for encouraging me to get one of these.

Checking in to share with those here who have been asking of my absence, being on walkabout for a while. One of a few walkabouts, actually. Thank you.

Thank you all for sharing your photos.
