Archives December 15, 2007 Last night, we went out to Joshua Tree National Park to see the Geminid meteor showers. Although it was several hours past it's peak, we saw many brilliant ones flying across the sky. Upon arrival, we drove through Hidden Valley Campground and accidentally occupied someone else's site. We relocated to the Ryan Campground and took one of the remaining two campsites there. I only took a few pictures, and they're posted under the Family & Friends tab. The last picture was taken just before we left; it's of Orion with Canis Major behind him. Also, I didn't capture any meteors in the photographs. For a picture taken during the 2001 Leonid showers, click here. It was a cold night, and the temperature dipped down to 23°F. Icicles from breathing condensation clung to my pager, which was next to my face. We enjoyed a good show and had a safe drive home. December 1, 2007 I’m pleased to announce the launch of my new website on this clear but windy first morning of December. The goal was to consolidate my different sites and albums into one place. For patients looking for information, click on the Profession tab, where you’ll find office information and other links. The tabs should be self explanatory. I’ve chosen to keep my nature photography album on a separate website, but I’ve moved the former People-Places directory and reorganized those pictures under the Friends & Family tab. Enjoy browsing!
