The local newspaper in Rochester reports that we may be able to see the northern lights tonight:

We may see
northern lights in
tonight's sky

The Associated Press and USA Today • August
3, 2010

The sun may be about to put on a colorful light
show.

That’s because of two minor solar storms that
flared on Sunday and are shooting tons of plasma
directly at Earth.

Scientists said residents of northern regions —
from Maine to Michigan and anywhere farther north
around the globe — may see unusual northern
lights.

Usually only regions closer to the Arctic can see the
auroras of rippling reds and greens, but solar
storms pull them south.

The federal Space Weather Prediction Center in
Boulder, Colo., said the plasma will likely arrive late
tonight or early tomorrow. The storms are not much
of a threat to satellites or power grids.

Until recently, the sun was in a phase with few
storms.

The blast appears to have emerged from the
interaction of a sunspot and magnetic ridge, or
filament, on the sun, writes Tony Phillips of
spaceweather.com. "We have just witnessed a
complex global eruption involving almost the entire
Earth-facing side of the sun," he reports.

These wonderful dads have instilled such a love for nature!  Bless their hearts!  And Kevin must be in that young woman's thoughts every time she is on the computer!  What a wonderful outcome to hoarding (as a hoarder myself, it makes me see the positive)!

Supposed to be a brief downpour and then it will stop.

Thank goodness, she is back!

she is just beautiful!!!!  I hope she has safe journeys and that she returns again.   

I like to think, Anne, that your dad is flying with the birds he has loved.  What a beautiful tribute for a dear man. 

The internet is a wonderful place to meet regardless of age or limitations.  There is a commonality of interests and caring. 

Well said, Donna!!!!

He is just beautiful!

Great white shark sighting in cape cod!

Happy birthday, Yarak!!!

Saw Callidora on Mercury, crying.  She flew off.  I found two falcons on the hotel side of OCSR.  Probably adults.  Kept searching for C- nothing.  One pefa flew off OCSR as I left
