Twelve Hours

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 On The Rise

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.

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.

 

No Moon Dawn

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
