Last night the sky was a clear midnight blue, and the waxing crescent moon and the planet Venus put on a splendid display. My photo, taken with my inexpensive camera, does not do the scene justice, nor does the picture give the true color of the sky.
Waxing crescent moon
With Sister Venus shines in
Midnight blue splendor
(June Butler 4-25-2012)Here's a link to a truer photo of the gorgeous scene.
Who wrote the haiku? It's as lovely as the photo.
ReplyDeleteOrmonde, thank you. I wrote the haiku. Shall I sign it?
ReplyDeleteI hope you saw the Venus/Crescent Moon show tonight as well -- evem more lovely, with the two heavenly objects side by side. Rainy in NYC last night -- missed it then.
ReplyDeleteMurdoch, the two were beautiful again tonight, with Venus still to the right but lower than moon. I suppose I'm moonstruck, because, if the night is clear, the first thing I do when I step out is look for the moon.
