Murder of Crows

Apparently videos, like photos, sometimes don’t capture the miracle and magic of nature. As with this meeting of crows at Darwin’s View…

…or the aurora borealis.

Usually Carl and I are snug as bugs in bed for outside events, but this time we had the gift of our niece over for dinner and so we were up and outside, on a very cold night, to see the night skies light up.

For the record, I never knew until the last aurora borealis that to see them, one must look through a camera. The sky without the camera still suggests a mysterious and eerie green. Glorious in and of itself. But the below is still through the eye of a camera. It leaves me wondering what else we might be missing.
