The colorful sky is glorious. And I see the tiny crescent moon.

Thank you so much!

Sky Safari says that's Venus. Venus is always "close" to the sun (because it is physically close to it).
Nice pastels and framing by the trees.


Simple GIfts.

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where I ought to be;
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
