Lainesblog Thinking Out Loud

In the western sky this evening,

a low cloud ceiling left a narrow window close to the horizon,

and after dark you might not have noticed this slice of sky

if Venus hadn't appeared in it shining so brightly like a persistent irresistible smile!

Our sister planet got

dimmer and dimmer

as she neared the horizon

before disappearing altogether.

WOW!
