The Pair In The West

Moon & Venus - 04/25/2012 @ 8:00 pm

"if you’ll look west after sunset, you’ll find the moon and Venus near each other – dazzlingly bright. The planet Venus is the third-brightest heavenly body to light up the sky, after the sun and moon. And Venus is nearly at its brightest now for this evening's apparition."  ~Earthsky.org 

"Look for the pair in the west after sunset, 
telling stories beneath a sweet gum tree.
Her hair catches wind as he spins his vignette,
his hand over hers, and hers on his knee." ~ Me

I like mine better ;-)

  1. My laptop screen is so dirty I can't see Venus in your photo. Is she even there, or are you fucking with us? Either way, I hope you're happy because you just made me have to clean :P

  2. She's totally there! I swear! She's in the lower right-hand corner, almost exactly diagonal and down from the moon. Try clicking on the picture to make it bigger. I'm sure you must be mistaking her for a booger or spot of milk you shot through your nose at some point.
