...and we were lucky enough to capture it. It's been cloudy and rainy all week but this afternoon the skies cleared some and stayed that way into the evening. As luck would have it the clouds rolled in again and we could see lightning over the Spring Mountains in the west but not before Bettina managed to get some shots off. The Moon-Venus meet was really terrific and the two were very bright in the sky.

Bettina trained the camera down and photographed the dandelion however she never realized there was a critter buzzing about it!
