Now that we're back home we've been enjoying the sparkling waters. Here are a couple shots from the other day.

After enjoying this during the day, we had another experience with sparkling waters in the evening. Just before going to bed we turned out all the lights and had a wonderful view of the first quarter moon reflecting on the water. It was a beautiful, ghostly reprise of the scene we had seen during the day. We noticed that the moon had a nice halo around it, and also a bright moon-dog. As we were marveling at the moon-dog a meteor went streaking by right over our heads. It started out bright, then flared up to about twice its initial brightness, and finally faded in the distance. One of the brightest meteors we've ever seen. What a delightful end to the day.
