FIREBALL!!!!

A huge, bright fireball crossed the sky tonight. The software I use for this captures actual video of the event and also creates a jpeg (still) image from the video. I added the caption, and taa-daa!!! An extraordinary catch.....You can actually see it explode just before fading out!

2008: A Good Year

Well, 2008 was a good year. A trip to Hawaii in February, backyard shrubbery and tomato garden put in, the dogs and family are in good health and my car still runs great! I hit the 10 year mark at Everett Transit...boy, time sure flies when you're having fun...
Kept in touch with old friends...
We had a very white Christmas...over 2 weeks of snow here in Washington state!! The photo above is a panorama of my neighborhood, taken on Dec 23 (click the photo for a larger version).
I'm looking forward to more projects next year...some fence repair, more garden work, and hopefully lots of clear nights to enjoy the stars.
May you and yours be blessed with health, happiness, joy, peace and love in the New Year!
