I’m following a trail into the woods tonight to get a better view of the moonless, starry sky without the light pollution from the city. It’s getting darker as I go, and my eyes are finally adjusting. I can’t believe how spectacular it is–the sky is beginning to look like powdered sugar spilled on black velvet. Venus is so bright, it’s actually casting a shadow.
If only my camera could do justice to this celestial extravaganza!
It’s so peaceful out here. The pines are like gentle giants swaying in the breeze under a canopy of dazzling stars. I can’t help but smile.

Beautiful! Even with our light pollution here Venus and the Moon were amazing a couple of nights ago. How lucky of you to see this! Thanks for sharing.
