yay for clear skies 21 months ago

I’m so glad the the somewhat cloudiness last night did not prevent me from watching the eclipse, or from checking out saturn’s rings, right next door.

Star Gazing Twice 2 years ago

I think I was about eleven-years-old and I was living in Saskatchewan. My grandparents came down and one night my grandpa, brother, and I laid a blanket down on the golf course across the road and watched the stars. Since it was a rural area and a clear night there was no cloud or smog to block our view and it was a beautiful sight. My grandpa pointed out the big and little dipper, North Star, and many other constellations to us.

A few years after this my family was on vacation in Nova Scotia and once again it was a rural area and a cloudless night. The only thing hindering my view were trees. I had brought along a star map so I found lots of constellations. It is truly an awesome sight and something you MUST do when out of the city!

Perseid 2 years ago

It was well past my bedtime, considering I have to be up by 6:30 for work, but we did go out and watch the perseid meteor shower for a bit. It was quit nice. There were several that left behind sparkly white trails, that remained in the sky for a moment after the meteor had faded away. Very Disney. Very pretty. : )
