October Skies

I had heard someone mention the northern lights weeks ago, but it's been raining so much lately, I haven't had the opportunity to see them yet this fall...I also forgot to look on the rare clear evening...the rainy days all ran into one...but tonight I remembered to go out for a look and they were pretty awesome tonight. So I grabbed my camera and went wild. The boys were also enjoying the lights, though they can't sit still long enough for the photo (shutter is open several seconds). The nothern lights look like they're going through Stormy in one shot, ha ha. It would have been a great night out on the ice road with the bright skies we have...but the lake isn't frozen all the way over yet...far from it.
