The morning star

At the moment, here in the UK, Venus is glorious in the morning sky. She hangs in the south easterly dawn like a little baby moon and is well worth seeking out. You don’t even have to get up particularly early – I tend to catch her between 7 and 8am, though obviously the darker the sky the brighter she shines.

I have attempted a photo for illustration, but I don’t have a good camera, nor indeed any skill, so don’t trust to the picture but see it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
