Praise of The Pinons
Buena Vista, Colorado. While I missed the falling satellite (or, shooting star), the surrounding pinon trees enjoyed every bit of the show.
Here they are seemingly giving a standing ovation from their skybox.

Ahhhh, kind of makes me homesick.
Kitem > Merci ! Thank you so very much for your kind comments. If you have a wish, please do share!
My mom and I used to collect pine nuts from the pinion trees in Arizona. I love pine nuts. 
I love the contrast between the trees and the night sky. Everytime I take a pictuure at night it looks this good!! …in my dreams!
Pasticierra > No doubt! Colorado is an incredibly beautiful state. Enjoyed following your recent homecoming via your blog.
I was sorry I misse you guys while you were there!
Tad > It is a fish-eye shot. While the hill had a subtle curvature, used the fish-eye to accentuate it. Thank you for your kind comment.
Beth Ellen > Oh, that sounds tasty. Did you toast them? I love toasted pine nuts! 
Thanks for taking for a ride down memory lane.
No, just ate them raw but am sure they are good toasted too.
Wendy > Thank you so much!
Wendy1 > Thank you! Shooting stars are the best! I was amazed when I reviewed the shots. I hope it was a shooting star, but upon closer inspection it appears to be a satellite.
Let’s hope it’s a star. Everyone make a wish!
Thank you, again.
Beth Ellen > I suppose pine nuts are delicious anyway you slice em’!
Lovely image. Looks like a tranquil place to be at night.
Pearl > It truly was. Pleased to report the arrival of the sun did not change the tranquil mood.
It’s absolutely wonderful.
All your photos are great, you’re very good at that, I like the shooting star too, maybe we could make a wish just looking at the picture?
