Northern Lights over Yellow Knife, Yukon, Canada
Check out these cool photos of the Northern Lights sent in by Kyle - awesome! Don't forget to scroll through the following posts to see the rarest of all atmospheric phenomena - the Fire Rainbow! Thanks, Kyle!
Fire Rainbow - Yukon, Canada
This is the rarest of all naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena. Clouds have to be cirrus, at least 20,000 feet high, with just the right amount of ice crystals, THEN the sun has to hit the crystals at PRECISELY 58 degrees!This event occurred on the Idaho/Washington border and lasted about 1 hour.

Farewell Old Friend!
The big tree in this picture was 300 years old when it finally had to be cut down. I wonder if the seeds and sprouts we planted down by the soccer fields will still be there in 2308! Josie, I hope you plant another that will last just as long. Thanks for the picture!

Happy Birthday, Walt!
Today would have been Walt Disney's 107th birthday. You can learn all about him and his extensive empire by clicking here.
My best Disney experience was getting to have my 10th birthday party at Disneyland in California. I invited my three best friends and we stayed overnight at the Disneyland Hotel. I had my birthday dinner at the Blue Lagoon restaurant, which was located inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride! I still remember what I ordered - a plate of spaghetti with tons of butter! Afterward, my dad arranged for us to have desert at the exclusive Club "33". Needless to say it was a memory that has lasted a lifetime (78 years, to be exact! ;-).
