Oh My Stars!

Had a great weekend in the country. Weather couldn't have been more perfect. After dinner on Saturday night we decide to don jackets & gloves (& ear muffs for me) & go for a ride on the mule. We are way out in the country about 10 miles away from the closest small town & on a clear night you see can the whole astrological sky. Wish I could name more than the big & little dippers, plus Orion's belt.

We rode in the big field across our dirt road. It's about 1500 acres. We stopped at one point just to look up & admire it for what it is truly worth. We also saw many shooting stars. I heard tonight that it might have been a meteor shower. It was so peaceful & quiet.

Here's an internet pic (I think from the Canon website, but not sure). I know my camera could never do it justice.

I just love this time of year.
