We were treated to two spectacular light shows in October. First was a view of the Northern Lights much further south than usual. I didn’t see them, but some neighbors did:
The other once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was the comet, discovered in 2023. Some folks got some spectacular pictures of that, also.
I went out several times to see the comet without success. But I told myself, “That’s OK. Don’t forget the spectacular you can see almost anytime.”
I told myself I didn’t need my own picture of the comet, but I lied. We have a new dog, remember? On October 23 at 9:00p, I took him for his last walk of the day. I pointed my phone in the general direction of the comet…and voila! I couldn’t see it, but my camera could, left side of picture. It’s not as spectacular as the other pictures (the comet was much farther away), but it’s mine!
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. (Psalm 19.1, ESV)
Wow x 6!!!!!! Glorious shots! We saw some wonderful shots of the Northern Lights from friends in the UK and Northern Europe. They were definitely more visible this year. We enjoyed some beautiful views of the Atlantic beaches and shoreline last month and some fall colors in northern SC – nothing like your Aspen, but we appreciated what we saw. Oh and also some spectacular sunsets and full moons!
