Beautiful Night Skies

November 15, 2010

This morning is very gray, but not cold. What a surprise when I came out this morning to go home, and only needed my sweatshirt jacket. According to the weatherman, it's supposed to be in the 50's for the rest of the week. I can definitely dig it!!

According to Snowy's blogpost yesterday, Erik was assaulted at a McDonalds and was taken to the hospital. From what I can gather, his condition is rather serious at the moment. I have tried to find any information in the various local news media, but so far I have found nothing. If I hear anymore, I will keep you posted.

On my way to work last night, I was noticing how big and bright the North Star was shining in the night sky. However, I could not pull over to get any photos. When I got to work, the first thing I did was get out my camera and try to get a photo. My best shots were not as sharp as I would have liked because I did not have my tripod with me, but I will share a couple of the photos I did get.

This first photo shows a gorgeous aura around the moon, and nearby to the left of course, the North Star. At least I think it's the North Star. As far as I know, it's the brightest star up there in the heavens. If you know different, please let me know.

This next photo is just for interest value. Can you guess what it is? Have a look.

Have you figured it out yet? If you guessed "a plane flying overhead," then you guessed right. This is what you get when you try to take hand held photos of moving objects in the dark.

At the moment, I'm watching the Ellen Degeneres show on TV. She is such a character and very entertaining. The backdrop on her stage shows some of the gorgeous Fall foliage that we have been enjoying here in New England. Even though it is mid-November, we still have lots of trees showing reds and yellows.

Now I think it's time to make a cup of coffee, and give Miss Tootsie her morning meds. Today will be a day for just relaxing. Before I leave you, here's my Parts 3 & 4 of "All Aboard." Till tomorrow, Y'all have a wonderful day.
