the northern lights at my door

October 9, 2012 By 15 Comments

They shimmer, sway and dance to their own rhythm and everytime I see them I get a little choked up at their beauty.  But don’t be mistaken….what could be a magical, quiet moment is instead a total chaotic panic scene with me running around the house opening every window and door, screaming at my husband “babe! omg! baby! you HAVE to see this! COME QUICK!!!! OMG!!!!!! TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!! ah!!! it’s AMAZING!!!! OMG OMG!!” followed by even more panic while trying to figure out what camera settings to use. I decided to throw my camera on manual and hoped for the best!

About Amanda

I'm Amanda. I started Natural Mommie in 2009 and have been turning mommies from eco-weak to eco-chic ever since! Having an intense addiction to sparkly pink strawberry flavored lipgloss and never claiming to be perfectly green I vowed to not give up my hip mama self once I became a mom and wanted to bring a little more organic into my life. My closet still isn’t full of organic cotton and bamboo, but it’s getting there!

    The lights are beautiful! I’m so jealous! I’d like to live up north just to be able to see those outside my window.

    Beautiful aren’t they, I have only seen them a few times and never quite as far north as you lived so must be even more gorgeous up there, seen them in northern AB and last night in Stony Plain at least you panic for your camera I just freeze and look through the telescope!! Gorgeous photo’s:)

    I definitely don’t blame you for running around and yelling at your hubby-That’s an AMAZING scene to behold, right outside your door no less! I’ve only witnessed that beauty once when I was really little so I don’t really remember it. I’d LOVE to be able to see those one day ^.^
