Venus and Jupiter

If you've looked up at the sky at night lately, you've probably noticed two brightly shining planets:  Venus and Jupiter.  Lockstep took a photo last weekend from our balcony (see below).   See this link from earthsky.org for more info on why Venus and Jupiter look so bright lately.  

The night sky is beautiful during the winter months.  I love the winter month star constellations. The cold and crisp night weather makes for clear stargazing. You can see Orion (The Hunter) for sure during the evenings in November-December.

It's kinda hard to see in the photo... I had to change the size/settings on the photo to make it easier to upload to the blog, but you get the idea.
