Hint of the solar storm at 8:30 PM
When I walked out at One after 9:09, the lower part of the sky looked clear to my naked eye. But through the camera, I could see the solar storm.

The sky was purple, looking north.

The sky, looking west.




Sasha and Silver were impressed






I’m so glad you got those images! I had been reading about this solar storm and how far south the “Northern Lights” could possibly be seen. They also said that a camera could capture some things that weren’t seen by the eye. I love these images from Corrales, New Mexico!
It was so interesting that the camera could see what I could not. Really cool. Thanks, Susan.
I always enjoy your sky-scapes, Tim. If I have a favorite flower, it’s the iris. These are gorgeous. But my favorite shots are the various flowers against the stormy sky. Stunning. Hugs.
I like the flower storm. Has the wind been blowing not stop down your way. It’s been relentless up here since Thursday evening.. Thanks, Teagan.
Dare I risk jinxing myself? It hasn’t been too bad this week. Yes, windy, especially by East Coast standards, but not for NM. Hang in there. I know how the relentless gales wear on the nerves.
Glad you captured some of the lights tonight. That’s awesome.
just last night I was going through the various notes that popped out talking about the solar storm.
i feared today we would be knocked off the grid but it seems the solar storm was less spectacular this side of the rainbow.
Flamboyance on display, your solar storm images are stunning
although I think the flower storm brought the extravaganza to your exhibition
Over on this side of the rainbow the sun was stormin’ away. I think the notion of getting know off the grid by the solar storm is just a good excuse to drum up another crises that isn’t. Government folks and news outlets thrive on crises. If there is a slight possibility of a crises, they blow the possibilities all out of proportion. The solar storm crises made for some fun fotos. Thanks, abvr.
That’s true, SANSA issued a report of possible interferences with the grid due to solar flares.
Your photos are exquisite. There were reports of Southern light sightings from Gansbaai in the Western Cape and Namibia, but nothing in my region.
You are most welcome Timothy.
It’s really cool. Thanks, Bruce.
Loved the luscious bearded iris, Tim. And the solar storm photos and the sliver moon are a swirl of celestial beauty.
Our iris are really happy this year. The solar storm was so cool. Thanks, Jet.
How amazing are these!
The solar storm was super amazing. Thanks, Shey.
Great you got all these pics of it. Such good oens tooe.
wow, how cool to get the solar storm, Tim🌈
Thanks, Cindy.
💕💕
Wonderful images!
Solar storm is peaking at K-Index 9!!!!! Not good at all! It’s been so active this year…
That kinda krappy, but made for some cool photos. Thanks, Marina.
Very cool indeed!!!!
I love the flower storm photos. I’ve never seen a solar flare before.
I hadn’t seen the aura before this. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
glorious iris colours!
Thanks, Couriers.
Nice Aurora photos, just clouds over and around me.
Thanks, Brad, Lot of clouds and a little rain before sunset. The the skies cleared for the Aurora.
Good to see some were able to see past clouds. Nice iris shots as well.
I am so glad you captured that! it is so cooooool!!!
Thanks, Tristan.
Super awesome you were able to catch the aura at all, but especially impressive to do it from your own backyard. Way to go, El Cheo.
A NIMBY I’m not when it comes to Auroras. Thanks, Craig.
A very beautiful set of photos from start to finish, Tim! That solar storm is supposed to go on through the weekend. I should have gone out after dark to look for the aurora. I will tonight.
Is the rose in the arch photo a Dr. Huey?
That is Dr. Huey. Thanks Lavinia.
OMG! The flower storm pics are sensational, Tim.
Lucky you getting some of the solar storm. I kept looking outside last night… nothing in Toronto. They say tonight we will.
Sasha is hilarious in that box. The look on her face is a riot! xx
You should be able to see all kinds of good colors in the Aurora as far north as you are. Be sure to take your phone with you. If you don’t see it with your eyes, you should through your phones camera. Thanks, Resa.
Interesting. Will definitely go outside tonight. My friend who lives in Wiarton, (3 hours north by car/population 2,000) says it’s been spectacular for a few nights now.
I can imagine.
Nice photos Tim and kudos for capturing the solar storm light show. I’ve seen many great photos but didn’t catch it personally.
Thanks, Brad.
So much beauty from start to finish! What a thrill to see the colors of the solar storm.
Thanks, Rebecca.
Great captures, Tim. It is amazing what the camera lens reveals.
Thanks, Michele.
Wow ! Superb !
Thanks, Firenz’.
Love those flower storm pics … Sasha looks particularly happy
Any new box makes her happy. Thanks, Julie.
Amazing how the camera can capture those night lights. Was able to make it out to a nearby field and witness the event as well …well, witness through the camera lens as you mentioned, the naked eye was blind to it.
It is a weird phenomena. Cool you got to see it. Thanks, Brian.
