Aurora Borealis

This is not my photo, but I love it and wish that it was. Because we are so far south, I haven't seen the northern lights displayed this dramatically. I think I might actually die if I did. We do get glimpses of the lights from time to time and the past two nights have been magical. Perfectly clear, star filled skies with magnetic light shooting out of the horizon. Love it. There is another phenomenon happening in Alaska right now. The arrival of the month of March. No one really talks about it, but getting through February marks a psychological milestone for Alaskans and a sense of euphoria is in the air as more light and summer approaches.
