Surprised myself by managing to find ten slightly bedraggled plants in flower on a rainy walk around our village today. Dandelion, daisy, red valerian, red deadnettle, hazel, primrose, yarrow (red and white forms) petty spurge, and white deadnettle.

A few more photos from tonight’s incredible #aurora. I’m fascinated by the amount of red light tonight. This is generated by oxygen molecules being excited by light plasma at least 600 km above the Earth. The green is also oxygen molecules, but much lower (100-250km). Definitely a great night.
