After the Rain...

After the rain Saturday morning the clouds began to part to make way for the sunshine and warm temperatures we had for the next several days.  Blue skies and snow capped mountains are always a beautiful sight, but I must admit I enjoy watching the low clouds move past the mountains.  Each time you look the view is different. 

Here are a few of the pictures that we taken over several minutes as the clouds were moving out the other day.

Northern Lights

I was very blessed to see the wonderful light show put on last night from the recent solar storm.  This was a real treat for us because even though we live quite far north, our little town is surrounded by mountains which tend to limit our view.  More often than not there seems to be plenty of cloud cover which also blocks view of the stars and beautiful night skies.  Not last night though, there was not a cloud in the sky and the show was amazing watch.
