Juliet, I'm SO delighted you won the blue with this beauty. I love your satellite trails AND your story ;-)) If you were given your own show on the box I'd even go turn on the TV again.

Your persistence paid off, goes to show anyone what they can do if they really put their mind to achieve something, well done, and thanks for the laugh!

oh .. ps .. i gave you a 10 .. thats like a Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat .. i googled rare animals to find out that information .. like me giving out a 10 is a rare thing .. well not exactly rare .. but i dont give them out willy nilly thats for sure ..
and its funny that what came up when i googled was a wombat .. as a wombat is an australian marsupial .. and i'm australian ..
FYI .. a wombat is a burrowing plant-eating Australian marsupial which resembles a small bear with short legs.

Your effort paid off... you won a meteor challenge without any meteors. Congrats on the new personal best!

i read thru your entire story ..
you could be a story teller as your second job ..
or a novelist .. or something along those lines .
you kept me enthralled, interested, laughing and looking forward to the next paragraph ..
what amazing lengths you went to ... i should take a page out of your book .. the one you are surely going to write .. the one that tells ppl that its definitely in their best interests to go to extreme lengths to get a photograph .. thats if its required .. on the other hand .. a photo captured on the go without any preparation can be awesome too ..

talking about awesome . THIS IS IT ..
many congrats on your blue ...
if there was a better than blue ribbon it would be yours .. the ribbon ppl get when they not only have a wonderful photograph, but that they went to extraordinary lengths to get it ..
the bit in your story about the frog .. so funny .. and then .. hope you are ok ..
a great yarn ..

Terrific extended image capturing numerous meteors, their reflections and, as icing, the Milky Way. The orange glow over the hills, also reflected, adds depth of time. Elicits the feeling of a flurry of action amidst eternity.
Is this Parker Lake in Arizona? If so, and even if not, it brings back fond memories of gallivanting across the country in my early twenties, searching out this isolated dot on the map. Still can't believe that I was able to hitchhike to and then out of there. Thank you for that.

Lighting is really good here, but the lopsided composition just doesn't work for me. Shift it left and you're in my top 3. As is, 6.
