under a copious canopy

The Perseids - an annual meteor shower that greets us at the end of each summer - are here on August 12 and 13.

This year is especially auspicious because  for the two nights when the Perseids will be falling the thickest we have a new moon [on August 13]. This gives us almost complete darkness against which to watch this meteor shower.
