6:00 am. Venus rising in the dark at dawn.
Glenda looking cool on top of an armario at noon.
Sasha napping at noon in the new hammock that replaced one of the worn-out burlap hammocks.
6:00 pm Saturn and Jupiter closing in on each other.
A closer view of Saturn and Jupiter at 6:00 pm. The lights coming off at an angle from Jupiter might be a few of its 79 moons.
Moon & Venus rising at 6:00 am.
I woke up at 5:45 am this morning to a sliver moon peeking through the window and Venus hanging out in the trees. I got up, put on shoes, checked the temp, 18º F outside, grabbed my camera, and headed out into the cold and dark. I took a series of photos of the moon and Venus rising over the next hour.

7:00 am
Venus had disappeared and the moon was just barely a sliver as the sun was getting ready to rise at 7:03 am.
The moon had faded to a tiny sliver by 7:04 am.
Looking southwest
There was proto-color rising from behind the Sandias when I left the house. I stopped for gas two miles down the road and the clouds had colored up.
Looking east
I was expecting to wake up and see the moon and Venus almost on top of each other but got colorful clouds instead. Yesterday morning got a crow flying between the moon and Venus.
Cresent moon, crow, and Venus
The end of dawn
Glenda & Gwendolyn gazing out the window at dawn.
How much are the kittens in the window? They are not for sale.
Dawn this morning.
Urban Katydid hanging on the outside of the glass between the 5th and 6th levels of the parking structure enjoying the view of downtown Albuquerque.
I saw the dawn today oh boy
A ring of fire filled morning sky…
