(Here’s hoping my pictures of the moon this month don’t cause the same fiasco as my pictures of the moon last month.)
I went to close my blinds the other evening and noticed that my white blinds were actually a slight shade of purple. That could only mean there was a beautiful sunset. I checked, it was gorgeous. So I got my camera and got these pictures. They really don’t do it justice.
And then tonight was another conjunction between Venus and the Moon. They were so close! Absolutely beautiful. I haven’t been able to see Comit Lulin because of light pollution and cloud cover (more on that later), but even with a slight cloud haze tonight, I got some gorgeous shots of the two of them. At least I think they are gorgeous.
How can a person not look up and be awed at the wonder of creation?

Beautiful! There is waaaay too much light pollution around here for things like that. I only have to drive an hour or two for slightly less, but I never take the time. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I love fluffy clouds.
I love tacos too, and have a really hard time understanding people who don’t.
I’m going to go to bed now, and if I’m lucky I will dream of one or the other. Maybe I will be reclining on a white fluffy cloud gazing at the moon and eating a taco. And I’ll think of you. What could make a better night’s sleep than that?
You’re cute.
And this is the picture you could get if you were looking at the Moon and Venus with a telescope that night: Crescent Moon & Venus
