The moon has been awesome in the sky before sunset for the past few days.  When I look up and see it in the sky, I just have to run for the Nikon.  The moon in this picture has a slight hint of orange to it from the sun still being high in the late afternoon sky.  I just love my pictures!!!  I uploaded five of them to Weather Underground where they are put into the current weather rotation of Wunder Photos.

I love checking out the sky for photo opportunities!  I think it’s really cool to be able to see the moon in the sky while the sun is still shining.  For the past week or so Venus has been making appearances in the early night sky as well.  This picture is one of the moon in the pre-sunset sky with a few fluffy clouds in the view.  I have shared a few of my pictures on Weather Underground (Wunder Photos).  This picture received pretty good ratings from other Wunder Photographers like me.  I’ll continue to keep an eye to the sky.
