Waiting area in Ocho Rios, Jamaica This post was edited by glenda_al on Wed, Jan 15, 14 at 10:56

Murraysmom....leaves and possibly floating trash. It's a BIG park in downtown Colorado Springs with a biking/running trail that goes through it next to the creek. The creek feeds the ponds. One day I saw a couch sitting in the middle of the creek before it was removed. This post was edited by nicole__ on Wed, Jan 21, 15 at 17:00

We must have a flock of Robins wintering nearby....20 or so finding something in our artificial lawn....under a crab apple tree. So pudgy and cute. We had to quit feeding...neighbor cat kept leaving his 'kills' on our patio or porch as a thank you....no thanks. He is a skilled hunter, more than one a day.

An Airglow Fan from Lake to Sky Image Credit & Copyright: Dave Lane; Rollover Annotation: Judy Schmidt Explanation: Why would the sky look like a giant fan? Airglow. The featured intermittent green glow appeared to rise from a lake through the arch of our Milky Way Galaxy, as captured last summer next toBryce Canyon in Utah, USA. The unusual pattern was created by atmospheric gravity waves, ripples of alternating air pressure that can grow with height as the air thins, in this case about 90 kilometers up. Unlike auroras powered by collisions with energetic charged particles and seen at high latitudes, airglow is due to chemiluminescence, the production of light in a chemical reaction. More typically seen near the horizon, airglow keeps the night sky from ever being completely dark.
