 Between 4:50 and 5:50 AM MDT I saw 16 meteors from my front yard, three of them fairly bright. I was lucky enough to catch one of the bright ones in an image. I was impressed with the color of the meteor! The stars to the right are part Auriga, the constellation from which the meteors appear to eminate.

sweet capture. I like how you left the tree in to give the shot some photographic context.
