I almost waited until too late to take any sky pictures today. It was a beautiful winter day. Sun was shining, not much wind, it got up into the low 40sF. Aaaahhhh.We were out scouting for the Knox County Christmas Bird Count that we are doing tomorrow. Found some nice birds to add to the count "if" we can find them again tomorrow. The weather gods seem to be smiling on us so far. It is supposed to be a good day tomorrow too.
As we were about to come home we saw a couple of planets that we don't normally see on the horizon. The little bit brighter spot just to the right of the tree is Jupiter and the other is Mercury. Of course Venus being the brightest was over out of photo area.
Here I zoomed in as close as I could. Now can you see them?? It was really good if you were there.
For more and not doubt better skywatch photos go to Sky Watch Friday.
