Starry Night

Continuing in the night photos – here is a photo from last night – well rather this morning about 3 am. My good friend Pam and I ventured out to watch the Perseid meteor showers. This was my first time really star gazing. The last time I stayed up late to do anything space-y was when I was about 10. Somehow we got set up to talk to the Nasa Shuttle Astronauts as they flew over head. So we were all huddled on our roof staring at the sky and listening for their call.

But no astronauts tonight – just us and the Milky Way. We actually went to several places since we weren’t sure where to get a good view and to keep us awake. This shot was at Monument Lake in Monument CO. Sadly none of the meteors wanted to listen to my directions and remained camera shy – but wow I do like the stars. I just love the way they are streaking across the sky.
