It’s a real challenge to get a bat in flight at dusk.

Conjunction? Not!
Behind all those clouds Jupiter and Venus were conjoining. It’s supposed to be clear on Friday morning for the second conjunction of Jupiter and Venus.
Since I couldn’t see the conjunction, I was hoping for a colorful sunrise, but no such luck.
While it might look like Daisy Duck was gabbing to Donald Duck, she was chasing insects.
A very large wasp ran up to me and then turned and retreated when I moved my foot.
Daisy and Donald kept flying by us and landing ahead of us.

Parade of Planets
Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, Mars, and Saturn lined up early this morning. Uranus was not visible from Albuquerque, which is just fine. Mercury rises too late to be seen in the morning.

Cross-Eyed Mama
Mama Owl was giving me a cross-eyed look. She had a little surprise for me.
I told Daddy Owl I made my 666-day streak in Duo Lingo. He looked rather devilish in my honor.
Top of a fuzzy head to ya! A little fuzzy head was popping up next to Mama Owl. Not long before we will see a fuzzy little face peeking over the edge of the nest.
Seven Moons
Moon rising over waves of clouds this afternoon.
Moon on the 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th of April.
Surfing A Contrail
Venus, Mars, Saturn, and two stars were nicely aligned this morning. On the 25th at 5:30 am, Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, Mars, and Saturn will be lined up similar to this morning. However, It might be too light for me to see Mars and Saturn at 5:30 am on the 25th. I’ll see.
The moon was surfing a contrail this afternoon.
