April 4th - Discovery Shuttle Launch

Okay - so this wasn't in my backyard - but you could see it from my backyard! I was lucky enough to be invited by my BFF to see the Discovery Shuttle Launch up close and personal! This is the gaseous vapor that remained after the Shuttle was out of sight. I took this photo right at dawn, but since we had been up all night on this adventure I'm using it for this post.
