With just minutes to spare. I arrived at the only clear beach in my area, mukilteo. I got to focus stacking this drift wood log right before the arc erupted into some of the best naked eye reds I’ve seen yet! #solarstorm #aurora #pnw

The most incredible display of cloud iridescence I have ever seen! Above half dome in Yosemite of all things. While hiking along the mirror lake trail I happened to look up and barely noticed some color in the sky! This was just about peak intensity. #cawx #wx #Yosemite

We just had a large x4.5 flare, it isn’t fully square on earth directed but perhaps will get a glancing blow time will tell. Can we get more of this soon please?! Overhead aurora at mid latitudes is always an incredible treat! Image from May 10th #solarstorm #aurora #wawx

We fought clouds all night last night in Olympia and ended up not seeing the first fantastic show. but we caught this nice substorm before we got rained on. It was a weird seeing the green pillars dance to the naked eye while being rained on. Classic Wa! #wawx #solarstorm #aurora
