I bumped my phone to a ten second exposure and it’s pretty awesome :)

Pink and green northern lights, showing some streaks and pillars, with silhouetted trees below

How long is the exposure? Try increasing to the max (10 seconds on my iPhone) and see what you get, if it’s not already :)

I’ve missed all these recent auroras, either clouds, or it’s too low on the horizon here in Maryland. But tonight it was so bright we could see it plainly, and I can finally share photos!

The Aurora shows as bright pink streaks and reddish-purple glow in the night sky, above silhouetted trees.

I found a baby one recently that I swear jumped through the air while making his escape 😂 I love them so much even when they startle me

Aw! Hello there little racer (Coluber constrictor, if you want to look him up) friend! I love his little face trying to figure you out from the umbrella. ❤️

Wind it, unless you want to be tied to a swift. A loose hank is a recipe for disaster, unless you find untangling yarn intensely satisfying I wouldn’t do it

I read about this earlier but didn’t realize it needed size 13… I feel like this is helpful for beginners to get a feel for knitting in a less fiddly way but 13s are hard to manage :/ I started my kid this way but with worsted/size 8 and that seemed about perfect.

The sun has finally come out, after a few weeks, and with it, a lovely North American racer, who looks like he’s been eating pretty good. Thanks, friend. 🐍

A long, black snake works his way through mulch and some oak leaves, with some green garden plants on either side.  He’s raising his head to get a look at us, and his nose is white.  Photo is taken from inside the house so the windowsill and brick ledge is visible at the bottom of the photo.
