As soon as it shut I'd hit the shutter release again for the next one, and each time it was different. One guy down in town even got a video of it that they played on the news that night. Plus they showed this photo during the weather report! (she said modestly) lol

    First time I saw it, I had already moved from Vt. but was up for a visit in the winter. Leaving a bar in the wee hours, a bunch of people were talking about it. Unfortunately, the moon was full, so visibility was poor. But...you could still make out the spiraling curtain of color.

    I believe I did see it as a child, in a suburb of NYC. We were sleigh riding at night, and there was this big green cloud low in the sky. Typically, that area shouldn't be good for viewing, but it was the 60s, so it might have been a rare phenom.

    I got a much better view one night on another visit to Vt.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    There isn’t. The colors snaking across the sky changing in color and intensity! Nothing like it.

    That was from our deck, which faces east, looking to the NNE. At its height it stretched from NNW to ENE! We live in the UP of Michigan. That's Superior reflecting the light.

    Oh, sleigh-riding... how cool is that? What a lovely memory that must be.

    Wow, what a show, from the deck no less.

    What do you do with the owls? My wife and I love owls. We have a lot of great horned, and barred owls in our woods.

    When we lived in STL I was a volunteer with the World Bird Sanctuary in the wildlife hospital.
    If you watch a few Youtube videos and listen to their calls, you can learn to call them to you. They're territorial and will think you are a rival moving in.

    Well tomorrow's Thanksgiving. I plan on eating into a nice food comma, and watch some TV. Not much else you can do in a food comma, since laying down for a nap is a mistake you don't want to make.

    When you've been dieting like me, you'd pig out on skip days as well. I normally avoid sweets, pop, carbs for the most part. I also only have 8 oz's of meat a day. I haven't had good pastries, cake, fresh bread, or anything sugary for some time. I'm going whole hog.

    In Missouri/Illinois it's "soda," up here it's "pop." Funny, the regional differences for things.

    Here's to a great holiday, good times, and food comas for all! :~)
