The evening began with a thunder shower, which led to a picturesque sunset, which was capped off by the northern lights display. I ran around with my camera, documenting everything at our cabin in northern Minnesota. I had tried before to photograph the sky at night with little luck. But this time, it worked! My camera captured even more colors than were visible to the "naked" eye. As I wandered on gravel roads in the middle of nowhere with eyes raised to the eternal mystery of the dancing sky, our resident loons began to call. Spring peepers croaked and a distant train whistle blew. We are so fortunate to live in these times, in this place. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
