We heard on the news that the Northern Lights were out tonight. So we headed over to Matthews Beach to try and see them. I've never seen the Northern LIghts before.

I still haven't really seen them Not the way I imagined they would be anyway. There was too much light pollution for us to make out the aurora with our eyes. But Jeffrey was taking long exposure photos that were turning out very green. And some of them had aurora-like ripples. One even had a red column in it...

We toyed with the idea of driving north for a while and trying to find a darker spot to see if we could actually see the lights, but we decided instead to come home. It's not freezing outside, but niether is it really warm... :-)

I'm closer to having seen the aurora borealis!

We could see them really great from a back yard in Lynnwood. Although that yard is reasonably well shielded from lights, lots of trees around.
