On the nights of December 13/14, Geminid meteors will appear as soon as it becomes dark. Activity will be up to 40 per hour, the meteors you see will be long and long-lasting. They will shoot from the northeastern horizon in all directions. We spotted two meteors just after dinner, one was very faint but the other crossed most of the sky. So that lovely picture is not mine, it would take a much better camera, with a time exposure, needless to say, I do not have these capabilities on my little Kodak camera.
We have now entered the Keys in one of the 3 wonderful state parks, Long key. The park is shrinking unfortunately, when I first booked the site there were over 25 sites large enough for us, now, according to the state park system, there are only 10. This is an example of erosion and the unbelievable power of water.
