Hints of the aurora from the suburbs of Denver

You cannot imagine how bad I am kicking myself right now.

Like everyone, I heard about the chances of seeing the aurora last night but I also know these events are a total longshot and more often than not, don’t pan out. So, I setup my camera to shoot out of a bedroom window, thinking if I saw something, I would then head out to a better location.

I got up at about 11:00pm, snapped a couple of pics, and in my sleepy stupor looking at the screen, didn’t think I was capturing it.

Well, this morning I downloaded the pics and while it is subtle, sure enough, there it was. Grrr!

I congratulate those that were smarter than I and ventured out and captured it far better than this. For me, I will just go back to crying in my coffee. 😉
