The Leonids were today. I set my alarm for 3:30 this morning but when it went off some wise but no-fun part of my brain convinced my right arm to rethink. When I woke up later at 5:30 it still seemed dark enough to try (and VC emailed to say they were west-coast awesome) so dog and I hopped to the park to see what we could see. The short of it, there were no more shooting stars for us, just stationary ones (a surprise in and of itself). Also, lots of planes. Reminder for next time, find the dang tripod the night before. For some reason long exposures with the camera balanced on a rock never turn out quite like I’d hope they might.
(Also, FWIW, m seems to be better this morning. Still crying to herself a little but perkier, head back up, looking around.)
