mist

Cloudy. Pumpkins, apples & mums for sale at stands along Rte. 7. My interest in astronomy has led to a greater awareness of impending weather conditions. The other day, we had a heavy afternoon rain followed by clearing, cooler weather. Even though the sky was clear, I didn't plan on using the telescope, it would be too foggy. Sure enough, the mist rolled in and obscured what would, otherwise, have been a clear night sky.

  1. mmm I love pumpkin and apple season. As much fruit as we have here, apples are really expensive (and not as good). Pops, we're going to a hostel in a volcanic crater this weekend. The website advertises a telescope on site to use. If the skies are clear, I might test it out.

  3. Rain for the third day in a row in Denver, must be a record. High today only 74, which is really refreshing, maybe I wont go to sleep sweating tonight.
