The Northern lights are very seldom seen in Southern Ontario - maybe once every 10 years or so. Tonight they are better than I've ever seen them here before...... Looking East Looking West I'm really impressed at my phones night time photos. Both are hand held 5sec timed exposures!

Today I took a brief break from taxes and drove to Amherstburg to pick some Morels at my son's place. We had some with burgers tonight. Tomorrow, my bride is going to make mushroom risotto.
