New Years' Day aurora

Weather has been weird this winter, with precious few clear nights for stargazing. We got a decent one a week ago though, right as a big solar storm ripped through. I took these shots from my bedroom window.  You can see my weather station and one of the HF antennas in the foreground.

Gull Rock Trail

Hiked about halfway down Gull Rock Trail in Hope today. Reminded me just how out of shape I am, but it was worth it. Hard to take a bad picture on this trail.
