I came across these two creatures today in my email inbox. They were featured in this article from the wonderful people at Space.com.

And, I put my Shaman-y hat on and went visiting HERE, at Dropping Pennies. Many thanks to KT, for the invite.

The sun is shining so bright it’s almost impossible to look out my window without squinting as the gorgeous beams dance over and bounce off of the hard packed frozen snow. A brisk northerly wind has blown every cloud from the sky and the gusts howl through my, slightly open window, because who can resist such a harbinger of Spring.
The shy, and seldom seen, Spring Harbinger Owl

Maybe live there in the summertime but I don’t think I could cope with no daylight during the winter. 🙂

It might be interesting, for it doesn’t get very dark up there, does it?

During the height of the Summer? … not at all, depending on how far north you are.

What about the winter? I wouldn’t think it would get very dark even then, what with all that snow…

Occasionally we get teased with a notice from the weather bureau that we might get the aurora this far south but it never quite reaches us, being in a valley and surrounded by mountains. 😀 … the review blew me away. 🙂

Those are great pictures! And good descriptions too, they really do look like a dragon and a phoenix.

Someday. I’m going to stand underneath something like that and scream and shout and cry with sheer joy. 😀

If I saw those dragons I would flee in terror. Mind you, not very likely in the southern parts, is it?
Our weather remains in the Uncomfortably Hot (30 degrees) cycle. Our autumns or early winters are the best times.

Not unless you go a whole lot further south-er. 😀

Won’t help unless one goes all the way round and then heads way up north. The south doesn’t DO those lights.

They’re called the Aurora Australis and can be seen in Antarctica. That’s what I meant by a whole lot further south … check out these gorgeous shots. 🙂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora

Well, I’ll be blowed. I thought the Borealis was the only aurora on the block. Every time I’ve seen pictures it has been of that. Thanks for info!
