PA Late Day Sun 3-8-08       #2244761 - 03/08/08 06:27 PM Attachment (17 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Well it has been one of those days here in the NE. Rain for the past 2 days, flooding and wind. Late this afternoon the sun came out but it wasn't going to last long. I thought I'd go out try my luck and just get outdoors for some fresh air. Been sick for a few days and needed out. Here are a few afocals, lasted only about 20min or so the all heck broke loose. Winds up to 60mph, hail more rain. A lot of trees reported down and power outages. Nothing real bad here but most of my bird feeders blown out in the fields. Anyhow enough rambling here's the pics for you all missing the sun. -------------------- Scott M. Canon 40D, 50D & G9 Coronado PST Stellarvue 80ED Orion XT8I Dob. Orion XT12I Dob.
