Geminid Meteors

Sneaked off for an overnight at the hunting camp.  We got an interesting sky- show in the bargain, the Geminid meteor shower.  Funny thing, though:  I couldn't spot any meteors until AFTER the glass of Scotch.

December in the Swamp

The calendar has turned, but I'm still in short- sleeves.  A pretty evening in the swamp; it's cool and still, and the waters mirror a background of trunks, limbs, and leaves.  The drought seems to have given us a bit of leaf- color this Fall.  Birds and squirrels were busy in the trees; owls and woodducks were calling.
