I saw a bunch but one last night was unreal. The brightest. farthest traveling one I've ever seen. Was perfect to being on the lake with some cool people, middle of nowhere, no light pollution. I just looked up at the sky and was like damn, these stars are beautiful. Especially after just getting back from jersey, I could really appreciate it.

Haha.. Did a random self portrait tonight and didn't even notice the meteor over my head until I looked on the picture. Got a few more too.
