It’s getting hard to put a smile on my face these days. Lots of negative nonsense all abound. But it’s pictures like these, that help remind me that there is still good in this world.

“How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.”

Some incredibly vibrant views from my driveway. While on the previous post we were talking about the greens and purples of the Aurora, in that last photo there is a huge curtain of red above the green arc.

Both these are caused by atmospheric oxygen, but the reds are from oxygen that is higher in the atmosphere. When these gases get hit by the charged particles from the solar wind, they vibrate to expel the positive charge and return to a neutral state. Depending on the amount density of the gasses (lower in the atmosphere has more, higher less) the vibration has a different wavelength that our eyes perceive as light. So reds are happening about 200km in the air with the greens happening about 100km up.
The reds can be somewhat difficult to see with your naked eye but in instances like the second photo they are very vivid to the earthly observer.

Today is my late boy’s bday. I know he would not have lived to be 18 (today). He was 13 but if it hadn’t been for the mass in his stomach, he would have easily made it to 15–I just know it. His final days were hard because he had been put on medication that made him act young again. The cognitive dissonance of his new energy to the reality of his situation was so hard to accept. 13 years was not enough; I wish pets survived our whole lifetime. My goodest boy, you will forever have my heart. Today I raise a glass to you, to commemorate everything you meant to me and remember the unconditional love you gave me. ❤️

Snowshoeing with my friends up a very steep hill. I had my jacket tied to my waterpack and it somehow got loose and fell off at the top on the mountain. I realized this when we were at the bottom. I was ready to abandon the jacket, but my friends refused because it was a brand new jacket and so I turned back and ran up that hill so my friends didn’t have to climb it all the way again. Everyone I passed on the trail said, “YOU’RE the jacket person? We saw it, it’s still there.” Haha everyone was so nice and no one took the jacket. I burned so many calories that day. 😅
