YouTube videos from my recent adventures...

It has been a busy ten days since I returned from Utah. First, the annular eclipse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42Gis5nCgQU&list=UULq-6JrVItrjLnZtdfZa-2g&index=4&feature=plcp

then I did the Dinosaur Quarry at Dinosaur National Monument http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42Gis5nCgQU&list=UULq-6JrVItrjLnZtdfZa-2g&index=4&feature=plcp

This week, the colorful Flaming gorge video was completed  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48ETEYO-VvM&list=UULq-6JrVItrjLnZtdfZa-2g&index=2&feature=plcp

Finally, yesterday I completed the video for Dinosaur National Monument  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajp-Ku3cJnY&list=UULq-6JrVItrjLnZtdfZa-2g&index=1&feature=plcp

I'll never forget the view from Harper's Corner!

With the tiny raft so far below--if you can see it, it's the little blue dot right where the curved swoosh of stone reaches the river.

OK, not so much...

After the spectacular celestial fireworks of the Perigee Moon and the Ring of Fire eclipse, I confess I was spoiled.  When I researched the transit of Venus, I realized that it might be a letdown after all the hype.

Ooops! Sensationalist media did us in again! There it was, like a mouse crawling across a hockey rink.

I took a number of shots, and then decided that if it didn't come again until 2117 it was fine with me.

I'll stick with the spectacular stuff--This kind of image is worth all it takes to get it!!

And I'll surely hope that I'm still around for the next Ring of Fire!!

That really was a spectacular month, though!!

Now that I'm home from Utah, I spent the day yesterday creating a three-minute YouTube video of the entire sequence of the eclipse on May 20  http://www.youtube.com/divexprt  Love that 'Ring of Fire!'
