Moon and Venus greet the trees

Good evening everyone, and happy just-past full moon. Goodness, was that ever one crazy full moon or what folks?

I often wish that my camera could capture the beautiful face of the moon for you, but images like this one are the best I can manage on dark nights. Still, it gives you an idea of the wonderful view out my window tonight.

The sparkle you see just above the moon is not a flaw in the image, it’s Venus! The big tree you’re looking at is none other than my dear friend, black walnut.
