    If only that bolide had brightened my night ...

   You're right, it was lovely, in a bovine kind of way. There was also a 
huge flock of Canada geese which was camped out around the slough (reedy 
pond, pron. "slew") just past the fence. Rare (for me) to see so many on the 
ground rather than overhead, where at night they can briefly be mistaken for 
meteors. (Honkin' big ones!)

    Well, I don't think meteorobs likes attachments, but since you asked, 
check out the first photo in the linked article (about the dedication of my 
prime meteor observing site as a Dark Sky Preserve):

    That too is a lovely image.
