I got to see a few meteors the day after the peak. Unfortunately I only have a window of about 15 minutes when I can view the planets between daylight and them setting, so I can't share them with the public!
Great blog!
I live in southern California and tried to see the shower...no luck. However, I did just find this time lapse video of it. It is filmed in Joshua Tree National Park...a favorite of mine.
I thought you might enjoy seeing it.
