A way cool scene in the early morning hours today. The waning crescent moon looked gorgeous and just above it, Venus was shining brightly. The conjunction brought together the two brightest objects in the night sky with the moon seeming to smile at the distant planet. As I was on my way to work, I didn’t have much time to play but stopped and grabbed a few captures.

I was out barbequing some chicken when I looked to the south and saw this cool celestial scene. These are just handheld so not as good as I would like but by the time I was done eating, the show was over. Fun to see though.
