Word-Picture of the Day: Night Sky

This morning a little after 5, I was making my way to my favorite reading chair when an exceedingly bright light caught my attention. It was shining through the picture window, low in the East, somehow making its way through the acres of trees that surround our home.

Because of its size and brightness, I thought it might be an airplane approaching Roanoke. But I confirmed with my Skytracker app that this blazing white visitor was Venus, in a clear dry sky, unchallenged by the setting moon.

What a sweet barefoot moment on the deck, enjoying the pre-dawn spectacle!
