Northern lights

Tonight I drove out of town with a friend from my photography club, accompanied by her mother (who's also a photographer) and husband.

Now we were going to make our first attempt at photographing the northern lights, Aurora borealis.
It was cold and dark and not easy setting up the camera in these conditions. But we had fun and I came home with 60 photos, most of them... well, not very good.

I was happy with this picture, as I'm trying this for the first time. I must do this often in the coming winter, then maybe I'll get better at it. Practice makes perfect, right? ;o)

My husband went traveling to Scotland today, so I'll be a "grass widow" for 8 days. As I may have told you before, I don't like to cook. My husband is the cook in our house. Now I have to prepare dinner every day for a week and I don't like it. Thankfully my boys can cook too :o)
