Tonight was simply incredible. This was my first time seeing the northern lights this vivid and it was well worth the wait.

When conditions were looking good in MN to see the aurora I made plans to drive outside the city to a favorite dark sky area.

Did you see the northern lights tonight?

Sharing unique outdoor travel adventures is my passion and this one topped them all and allowed for no real photos to capture just how truly amazing it was.

We had the most incredible experience on a night bioluminescence kayak tour of the remote Sechlet Inlet in British Columbia.

Starting late to ensure darkness, our guides taught us about bioluminescence and about the tribal lands we were on. Paddling in complete darkness (relationship test in a tandem), we saw our kayaks and paddles light up with glowing white lights, resembling fireflies. They gave us “fairy sticks” to drag in the water beside our kayaks and what followed was a stream of glowing bubbles of light that appeared truly magical. Fish and seals swam beneath us, illuminated by bioluminescence.

Bioluminescence, is the light emission by living organisms like plankton, is part of the world’s largest daily mass migration. With a new moon and clear weather, the starry sky and Milky Way enhanced the experience.

Our guides created the most moving natural and spiritual connection singing tribal songs and beating drums to share this incredible natural phenomenon that we’ll never forget. Unfortunately, bioluminescence can’t be captured in photos or video, but the experience is worth seeing firsthand if you ever get the chance.

Remember to protect our water and planet.

Thank you

For those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, summer unofficially begins on Memorial Day Weekend. But the official first day of summer this year is June 20, 2024. This is the astronomical beginning of the summer season known as the summer solstice.

The North Pole will be at its maximum tilt toward the sun, making the sun appear the highest in the sky and giving us the most daylight hours and the shortest night of the year.

Let the energy of the summer solstice help you to balance, release, recharge.❤️
