What a weekend it's been so far! We had a very small chance of seeing northern lights in Yosemite, forecasts were close and if the storm ended up being just a little stronger than predicted it would happen. So being the spontaneous and slightly crazy girl I am I didn't even go home and pack. I decided that I wanted to take the chance and simply left from work straight to Glacier Point!
Well the storm was stronger than predicted.... but later than predicted too. So I didn't see Lady Aurora that night. I did spend an incredible night alone at Glacier Point in my hammock chair stargazing! I also stepped out from behind the camera for a minute while stargazing! 😍
The next night I went to watch a fireworks display with my mom and a couple of friend and their 2 kids. It was so fun... Lady Aurora really showed up on our way home! The 6 of us pulled over on the side of the road and watched and captured pictures for about an hour, you could even see a faint hue with the naked eye! It wasn't in Yosemite but it was with great friends and family!
