I didn't get a photo of it, but there was a emerald green flash at sunset last night, and it was particularly meaningful to me. I thought I'd share several photos of the green flash sent in to me over the years.

Jim Grant captured a double green flash, an amazing photo. Green flashes are photographable mirages.

This one was taken by Allen Vinson. Allen almost specializes in green flashes.

Here's Allen with a green flash cocktail. Nice!

Thanks to Jim and Allen for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Sunny, mild, clear weather today.
