Fly Me To The Moon

The Monday after Thanksgiving I was at my daughter's home and had taken little Lily and Lucy out shopping. When we returned home this is what we saw in the sky. The contrails seemed to start at a point on the horizon and fan out. It was the same in two directions. The sunset was reflected in their vapor trails. It was quite a sight to see. As she lives near the Norfolk Naval Base it wouldn't surprise me that these were left by jets doing military maneuvers.As I finished taking pictures I turned as I walked through the front door for one last look. That was when I saw the moon among the trails. As I looked at these this week on my computer I started humming Frank Sinatra's song - Fly Me To The Moon.

"Fly me to the moon

Let me play among the stars

Let me see what spring is like

On Jupiter and Mars" ...........

Linking to Thursday Theme Song and Skywatch.

Sky Watching In March

March is one of my favorite months to enjoy looking at the sky. Lots of crisp windy days with a lovely blue covering overhead. To me there is something romantic about a daytime moon. It's always a surprise to look up and see one.
“The future is like the daytime moon, a diffident but faithful companion, so elegant as to be almost invisible, an inconspicuous marvel.”Robert Grudin

That same day provided wispy clouds above the trees and a perfect day to capture contrails.

"What was most significant about the lunar voyage was not that men set foot on the moon but that they set eye on the earth."
~Norman Cousins
