Milky Way, Shooting Star, Planets Align At Tahkenich

Thanks to all of you for your kind words yesterday in response to my tribute to Cayenne. They meant a lot to me. I feel ever so lucky to have Pearl who is glum as well and needs even more attention than usual. Jim tended her last night while I went out with a friend to shoot stars. At first it looked as if the haze was going to make it a wash out, but then it lifted and the milky was as well as Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus appeared. To top it off...a falling star! Best of course on black if you have the inclination.
Thanks for your visits
