Recent Skies, Early Flowers

An early morning sky shows some rain clouds.

We've had some rain this week, and still no snow. Today the temperature was downright balmy.

I've noticed some flowers blooming, which is unusual for February here. These pansies were probably planted recently. I actually have some daffodils blooming in my yard.

On Tuesday evening, I rolled out the trashcan and was pleased to see a crescent moon with Jupiter and Venus above it. I took the picture with my cell phone and it overexposed a bit, losing the moon‘s crescent appearance in the process.

Yesterday I picked up Charlie from doggy daycare and saw that the sky was turning pink. So instead of coming straight home, I pulled onto a side road where I knew I could get a shot of the sunset.
