Come Upon a Shooting Star

This morning (12/01/11), around 4 AM, while outside letting the dogs go potty, I was searching the sky for the Southern Cross, glancing past the Big Dipper, when suddenly, brilliantly, a line flashed across space. A shooting star! One not confined by whites or grays, rather, one illuminated with orange or golden hues. (Art © 2011 by j. m. Scoville)
