It is no secret that I love seeing and photographing the Aurora Borealis. I have been lucky enough to do this 3 times before, but nothing compares to the show in the early morning hours of Mother's Day. Usually in order to see the lights dance (you can't see the colors with the naked eye, but you can see the movement) you have to let your eyes adjust and you can't look at your phone for fear of ruining your night vision. This time, however, the lights were so strong that I could see the immediately after getting out of my car. It was amazing!
I always feel like I am a part of something special each time. I feel blessed to get to photograph something so beautiful and to see it the way I did this time was icing on the cake. It was the perfect addition to my birthday weekend!
