2. My dear Heidi...

What an amazing video...

Now, I use that word "amazing" a lot, but somehow this time it has more meaning than normally.

I've never been lucky enough to live where there are true dark skies, so this video really impressed me greatly.

I found it very relaxing as well. Viewed full screen, it is overwhelmingly beautiful.

Thank you!

3. I used to live on the highest hill for many miles in the southwest and we saw it every night.

Except we looked straight up and had to be careful keep from falling backwards on our heads, no kidding.

We also had great views of two famous comets in one year. We could see them night and day in the west.

It was the only place I've lived where I could see the stars. Too much light pollution in town.

Had to watch out for snakes and scorpions, though...

5. That was my opinion of it, too, Peggy!

Good evening/morning! :hug:

6. Good morning, my dear Heidi...

I'm just heading for bed, but thought I'd swing back through...

Good to see you, as always...:hug:
