"Catch a Falling Star. . . ."

Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds, San Rafael, CA

The wildlife ponds at "blue hour" just after the sun went down. . . .

"Catch a Falling Star. . .... and put it in your pocket; save it for a rainy day."
Yes, in truth this is a jet contrail, but I liked the thought of it being a falling star.
If you're not familiar with the song, here is a video of it from the movie "Love Actually"
