Northern Lights on St. Patrick’s Day

Last night we were treated to a beautiful display of Northern Lights and it seemed fitting to end St. Patrick’s Day with a display of green lights!   There were a bit of red and a lot of purple mixed with the green this time.  My husband has an App on his iPad that give us an idea of when the aurora will be active and it was indicating a very high potential for activity so we were ready with our camera!  We were able to walk out on top of the snow to the middle of our bay to set up our tripods and every once in a while the lake ice would make a cracking sound that made me jump!  It’s a very creepy sound at night but that just added to the fun!
