One word... EPIC

Last night's Aurora Borealis made it's way well into Washington state and it was epic!  The lights were dancing and pulsing with pillars reaching so high I felt I was in nature's cathedral.  It was breathtaking to witness with the naked eye.

Got a little color from Monday morning aurora taken at 12:39 am. I enjoyed the new people I met that night, it's always fun to meet others while we're waiting for the lights to make a showing. I stayed local, since I had worked the weekend photographing a fun family and my bones were feeling it, I wanted to make sure if it ended up being a bust that I could drive 20 minutes back home and slide right into bed. It wasn't the storm I expected to see and I was at my location from 9:45pm Sunday night until 3am Monday morning. This is one night where it would have been worth the long drive away from light pollution and higher elevations, but always happy to see the lights wherever I am.
