Perseid Meteor Shower

S cott and I decided to make an effort to see this year's Perseid meteor shower. So when I got off work, we headed out to the beach on Sanibel Island with our chairs, the camera and tripod to see some meteors. We usually just try to see some from our backyard, but our proximity to downtown and the streetlights kindof put a damper on stargazing.

We got lucky and saw quite a show. This photo has three meteors in it!
