Crescent Moon and Venus


Tomorrow Venus will be at it's brightest of the year. But, since, the weather is predicted to be snowy and cloudy, I thought I should try to catch such a rare sight along with the crescent moon a day early (the photo is not to scale, but accurately reflect images of Venus and moon). The view was a lot better live than in the photo. I once heard the waning crescent moon described by a child as a "toenail" moon. I don't think it could be said any more descriptively or poetically.
