The perseids meteor shower

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills 
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now


Don Mclean ... "Starry Starry Night"

Had a great late evening outing with our camera club photogs blipping the stars and meteors last night.  4 successful hits in 400 attempts.  The two best are here.
