Smiling skies

As I head out in about an hour for a night of driving to the fabulous wilds of Blythe and Yuma (don't keep your travel agent waiting!) for a week+ of all things alfalfa, I wish I still had this view staring down at me to cheer my journey. Shining Venus, winking Jupiter, and a happy moon

As seen from our backyard at sunset, around 5 pm PST.

Alas, they've set by now. And I'm not nearly as happy as the moon to leave kith and kin.

Hey, Eric!

I've seen a number of photos from around the world on this. It all depends on when the photos were taken GMT, and where on Earth you were. This sky really showed me just how "fast" the moon orbits the Earth, as the very next night, as I drove the lonely desert into Yuma, the sky was frowning. I have a photo of that, too, but it's on my cell phone, and I'm, like, super lazy in uploading those photos.
