I really DID see them!

Oh my gosh ... last night was truly amazing!  I had hoped to see a little light show and got SO much more.  I'm running to my conference, so I'm just posting a few of the pics.  I'll explain more later ...



It started small ...

And they danced ...

And it got bigger .. and more beautiful

More details to come!!

  1. Hi Mrs. Redfern! We are LOVING your blog so far. All of the pictures and descriptions of Alaska are amazing!(We especially loved the brand new puppy!).
    Our class wanted to know if the Northern Lights that you saw were just one color (primarily green), or many different colors?
    Thanks so much!
    Sincerely, Mrs. Driscoll's 4th grade class :)

  2. We our eyes, we could only see a white haze; with the camera we could see the beautiful green and some yellow. Thanks for following!

    1. I stand corrected. Although I could only see a white haze, Mr. Redfern says he saw some green, pink and yellow. The colors were definitely brighter in the pictures though.

    1. We had to drive away from Anchorage to get away from the city lights. We were somewhere near the Knik River near Palmer. I didn't drive, so I'm not sure exactly where it was.
