Vineyarders were dazzled Thursday night by the Northern Lights, which could make another appearance on Friday. Gazette photographers Ray Ewing, Tim Johnson and Larry Glick captured the beautiful vistas across the Island. 

 

 

 

Stinging Stars

“Because we focused on the snake, we missed the scorpion,” laments an Egyptian proverb. 

Don’t miss the scorpion.

Though it is summer and a busy time for all, take a minute to gaze skyward to see the night’s super stars. Among the most famous is a classic constellation that says summer.

September is for the birds.

Now, Soo Whiting, don’t get your feathers ruffled, I won’t tread on your turf (see column to the right). These birds of September are in the sky but won’t fly away or be found in a Sibley Guide. My birds live in the autumn night sky, immortalized forever by the stars.
