Looking at the sky.


For the last 2 nights Needles and I have found ourselves laying out under the stars. The Perseid meteor showers have had us with a blanket and pillows laying out on the concrete patio looking toward the heavens in the chance we might spy a shooting star.....or several. Last night we were out there for about 35 minutes and maybe spied a couple of meteors. It was a nice night to be outside but the dampness could be felt after just a few minutes and warmth of the concrete could be felt on our backs through the blanket. Tonight was much more fruitful. I was amazed when we returned inside to find we had been out there for almost an hour. While we were out there we did get to see several meteors. We also spotted several planes and a satellite. It was nice to relax under the stars with Needles. Goodnight All.
PS. Not my picture.
