Greetings Under the Northern Lights

I had an awesome Friday...some chores, sure, though we went out to get Blazing Bagels and picked up lunch on the way back from Kitanda (acai bowls and Brazilian bread), then took a walk to Idylwood Beach before going to meet Adam and Haley in Issaquah for a glassblowing class at Art by Fire, where we made glass pumpkins, and Indian food for dinner with them at Maharaja. 

I will post photos of all that tomorrow, though, because what I'm going to remember from tonight -- shared in person with many neighbors out on our dock, as well as online with friends all over North America and a few in Europe -- is this incredible sight, courtesy a very active sun producing a series of mass coronal ejections and the earth's Van Allen Belts:
