This week I’m kicking back as ‘they’ say at my brother’s place in Phoenix Arizona. Since my arrival this past weekend the sky has been overcast or very hazy due to strong winds blowing dust and sand. However this evening the skies over Phoenix were clear resulting in this picture of the 2-day young waxing crescent Moon about 5 degrees west from the inner planet Venus as the two set in the west.
