Northern Lights

I had kindof seen that the Northern Lights might be visible last Thursday night, but I didn't give it much thought. The girls and I were even driving that evening and didn't notice the sky. When we got home, Jeremy showed us pictures that Joel and Amanda had sent of the Northern Lights from their house. Aliza and Josiah went outside to investigate. This was after 10:30pm. They came back in saying that the sky had pink tones. Aliza pretty quickly convinced all of us that we needed to drive over to the field down the road where we could see the North sky.

We looked at the sky. It was maybe a little brighter than usual and maybe had some pastel hues. The man and oldest boy in the car were pretty skeptical over the whole thing. And then Jeremy took this picture...


...and we were all amazed then, that there was actually colors there that we couldn't see clearly with just our eyes. 

After a few minutes, Aliza and I started watching another spot in the sky that looked like there was a faint pink column of light. Jeremy took a picture..There was a pink column.

We went home after a few more minutes and Jeremy took more pictures in the yard.

Of this I have  no doubt... "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." Psalm 19.1
