Up On The Roof Top


No, not old Saint Nick but us!! A couple of days ago
we climbed up to our roof with a telescope and looked
at the stars. It's a boy thing. Adventure, discovery,
thrills & snacks of course. Here are some shots
before it got dark.


DK wasn't happy about the idea but eventually warmed up
to it. We weren't that high. It's just a two story house.


Shaggy & Rocker were happy as clams.


Here they are awaiting the night to fall. We got the
strangest looks from our neighbors. I wonder why?


As you can see it was a mix of clouds & sky. The boys
were marveling at the moon already high in the sky.


Here my Knight is not spying on neighbor but setting the telescope up.
You have to pick a target and focus before the stars come out.
The boys loved it and want to do it again. Try it sometime. Be bold,
be daring, climb your roof tops and look at the stars.

Wow, that would completely creep me out! Glad you had a good time, though. :)

Not on my roof! I'll keep my feet on the ground. Bravo to all you courageous ones!!

WE have a great roof for that too! We've watched the fireworks from up there once in a while...

And, we just got a new telescope - that doesn't quite work right - that would be a cool spot to use it. :)
