September Lighting is the Best and Yeah for the Equinox!!!!

Gosh, I think it's time for a new post just so that the weeping angels aren't the first thing you see every time you come to my blog.  They are a great representation of how we all feel sometimes, and I was definitely feeling the weight.  But not today.

Today and yesterday and the day before and the day before that and.....have been happy days.

Yeah for happy days.  It's the middle of my work day so I won't go into all that's been going on, but it's all happy things.

But I will say that the lighting in the air during September is the best.  It's magical.  Even at 2 in the afternoon, it's magical.

Cheers for magic.

Here's some real magic:


This is from "Astronomy Picture of the Day" - it's titled:September's Aurora and has this explanation with it:
Explanation: September's equinox arrives today at 0905 UT. As the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading south, spring begins in the southern hemisphere and autumn in the north. And though the seasonal connection is still puzzling, both spring and autumn bring an increase in geomagnetic storms. So as northern nights grow longer, the equinox also heralds the arrival of a good season for viewing aurora. Recorded earlier this month, these curtains of September's shimmering green light sprawl across a gorgeous night skyscape. In the foreground lies Hidden Lake Territorial Park near Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Calm water reflects the aurora, with bright star trails peering through the mesmerizing sky glow. Of course, shining at altitudes of 100 kilometers or so, planet Earth's auroras are visible from space.
Pretty darn awesome this website is!
