I saw the green flash!

[Cil]

Last night's sunset was glorious, all golds and pinks and streaks of robin's egg blue.
I was looking at it as we drove 30-A here and saw a green flash. Years and years ago on our honeymoon in Jamaica and the Caymans I'd stare at the sunsets every night, probably burning holes in my retinas, and never seeing anything other than a beautiful sunset. The last thing on my mind last night was the green flash, but I definitely saw it. It was very cool.
Anyone else ever seen it?

Oh man...that is so cool! I have never seen it, but here is a green grin...

Cil, I have seen the green flash once. We went with friends on the Nathaniel sailboat for a sunset cruise this fall and I saw it ! It was beautiful and very quick! So cool!

 

[Cil]

Yay, another flasher! ;-)
It is indeed quick, I can see why people might doubt themselves (or others.)

I saw my first shooting stars at Grayton- sitting on the porch of the house next door to Kimmi's family's house. Scared me to death at first! The shooting stars were green and red- not what I thought they were supposed to look like, but everyone else there confirmed it. They were beautiful- way out over the Gulf. Maybe I will see my first green flash down there!!
