010208 - Nice Loop on ESE limb! new
      #2090077 - 01/02/08 02:28 PM

It was way too windy and cold outside so I viewed thru the dining windows...

Most notable feature was a nice LOOP on the ESE limb...

I caught it. A little faint, but it was there!

Sun goes below the house roof line by me at 3:00PM

I caught it too, and while I was drawing, a big ol' cloud came by. I'm gonna check if I can get a few more minutes of viewing in.. The clouds are rolling in, and apparently we are due for "record rains"....

Temp outside is 26 feels like 12 wind gusting to 20mph. Not a good day to be out. Glad to see you got to observe today.
