Makes me happy just looking at it. Thank you for a beautiful pic!

BTW, the moonrise tonight was magnificent here in northern Ohio.

I took this two nights ago - it was a strange & beautiful moon. The clouds were very unusual and the moon itself had a glow around it - ice crystals in the clouds, probably.

Thanks!

Very pretty, but I still say the Anderson sisters were better. What heavenly bodies.

The "sister planet" is Venus.

Yesterday was full moon so the moon should be in Virgo right now--the Pleiades are in the constellation Taurus.

Stunning. For some reason I have had some beautiful moon pix the past week or two.
