Cloud watching

Last weekend the Perseid meteor shower was at its peak, however there was also a full moon making sightings difficult unless you wanted to stay up to the wee hours. There were some fast moving clouds passing under the moon, refracting light in the thinner portions and casting shades of blue, yellow, orange and pink - moon rainbows. Made for some great nighttime cloud watching. 

Fierce play

Both Dubuque Hempstead and Senior High School played a no holds barred match up in the 3A SubState playoff. The intensity with which they played made for an exciting game and it was fun to shoot. Dubuque Senior advances to the next round after getting the win against their city rival.
