Aurora Borealis Whatnow?

Not The Aurora Borealis, But What A Gorgeous Moon!

 

Okay, so, the Aurora Borealis decided to take a vacation by visiting the whole world, but somehow it decided to avoid Stockton. It was also missing in Galt and Lodi. I looked for it, and didn't see it at all, well, maybe a little but it certainly wasn't the awesome vibrant event I hoped to see and I am just guessing and hoping that that is what I saw. The place to be, to truly be treated to a show, was the Bay Area, San Francisco in particular. You can see the beautiful gallery by clicking the link below.

 

So, I felt a little sad about it, but not for very long. The Aurora Borealis could come back for a visit. Sigh. I think it's probably more likely we will have an attention getting earthquake or possibly a sighting of a rare bird, before this opportunity comes back around. POUT! The thing about being my age that truly sucks is that feeling of do it now, because they days are going by fast. Ride the scary roller-coaster, take the helicopter tour, go out and search for rare celestial events! Take the whale tour, because...

 

TICK-TOCK!

Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot #43: Seeing Stars

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."

EMPS #43: SEEING STARS.
Pretty simple idea... go out and find me some STARS! I am looking for any kind of STARS, so feel free to think outside the box, and yes, archived photos are fine for this one. STARfish, STARS on fabric, STARS in the sky... all good! STARS on a flag would work, as does those glowing plastic STARS you put in a child's bedroom. Know any Hollywood STARS? Tee Hee. If so, take their picture and post them in your entry. Right now, I am off to enjoy a big bowl of Chicken and STARS soup!

Extra Credit: So that we can better understand what photography means to all of us, I want to continue sharing our individual experiences with the camera, so, share a little bit about what it was like to take this week's photo or or photos. Give us all the details. What was the best part? What was the worst part? What settings did you use to accomplish your shot? What were the surrounding conditions? You get the idea!

**PLEASE READ**
You have until next Sunday evening at 9:00 PM ET to get the photo for this week's photo shoot assignment, post it to your blog, journal or website, and comeback here with the direct link back. Remember, it must be the direct link to the entry specific to this week's assignment, not a general link to your blog. No hyperlinks please! Also, please include a link back here to this week's assignment.
