At 11:00 p.m., we arrived near Lake Pleasant to watch the Perseids meteor shower while being attacked by a million large winged flying insects and swarms of mosquitoes. Our endurance paid off, and we saw approximately fifty or sixty meteors burning up in the atmosphere. Try as I might to capture the larger ones, it seemed my camera was always pointing in the wrong direction – even with my lens set wide at 10mm. By 1:30, I had enough smeared bug parts in my hair on my neck and arms that it was time to call it quits until November 17th, when the Leonids were to make an appearance. In this photo, if you click on it to open the larger image, you might see a tiny streak on the right of the Milky Way low on the horizon – a meteor!
