Venus blazed in the east before dawn. I didn’t even recognize her, her light was so furious over the hill.

Scorpio was up in the southeast--the promise of summer.

And now, late in the day, after the sun has set, the new moon is glowing in the west, a platinum sliver of sunlight on a plate of mirrored blue. Blue from sunlight rerouted via Earth. In effect--the sun still shining after the sun has set.
