Maybe Saturday, I looked at the moon shortly before it sank below the mountains and I saw a bright as Venus light. Then I realized it was moving. It was the ISS!

I haven't seen it in a year or so. Now I can't seem to catch it without looking up where it is.

Went right past the moon while I was looking at it and wondering how Venus got way over there.

Guess it was my lucky day to see the ISS.

Thank you for coming by and having a look. It makes my day.

I'm happy that you like my moon.

But if you get up while the sky is still dark, well before the sun rises, then that's maybe a better opportunity!

That's what I did early this morning. I got up just after 3 a.m. and decided that would be a good time, and it was!

Since I was up already, it was easy.
