The lights were dancing this morning!

I've seen the Northern Lights Aurora Borealis a few times since I moved to Alaska. Mostly they have been the green ones. One night I saw red and purple and ran inside to get my camera. Just that quickly they were gone. I awoke around 5 am today and looked out the window because I thought it was getting light outside. Even though the days are getting longer, it shouldn't be light at 5 am. And it wasn't. The lights were out. To the naked eye, they looked more white than green. But to the camera, they looked green. I have not touched up any of these photos. This is what was in the sky. I really needed a fish eye lens to get the whole sky. The lights went from horizon to horizon. I stayed out as long as I could considering I only had PJ's and a light jacket on. LOL. Once I went back in, I watched a bit longer from my bedroom and then they were gone.
