I saw one meteor. Faint and barely noticeable around 2am, with the moon brightly shining high in the sky but moving towards the Western sky. Things were clear.

We are looking forward to the “shooting star” event that should be fantastic on Tuesday morning, 5:30am here on the US East Coast. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2002/09oct_leonidsforecast.htm?

The Hummingbirds have become very active here in the past week, particularly. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are the regulars in Georgia. We have one adult male for certain, and he is a “sentry” setting up in differenent spots in trees in the back yard, waiting for the other Hummers to come by on their way to the…

Leave a note for me here— to just say “hi”, or if you have something to say that isn’t a reply to a definite recent post, or to tell me something unrelated to any posts, etc. Thanks! 🙂
