This page begins with October 2nd and photos of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. All of those shots have been processed and adjusted to bring out the lights so that they appear as close as possible to what we actually witnessed. The Aurora is quite bright, it's pretty hard not to see it up in the sky when it's happening, but all of the photos barely make it visible without some type of processing to bring it out. After that, there are two photos which were taken on October 8th in our "Yard". That's all there is on this page.   Click on any thumbnail to begin.

Begin October 2nd |
  Here are three shots of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. These shots were all taken from right outside our door while standing in the driveway. |

  The first image in this row shows one of the two larch trees on our land. Note how it is decked out in its most glorious fall clothing. This image is composed of three exposure-bracketed photos combined in Photomatix Pro using the Tone-Compressor option. The second shot shows a Black-Capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) at our birdfeeder. |
