Comet Chasing

I had a few unsuccessful attempts at seeing Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS,  having completely zoned out on the best day to see it. Instead, I had a special time of solitude on the lake - oh wait, a honking goose shared it with me. It was as still as glass, and I hardly drifted off course at all. Quite gorgeous.


The stillness was magical. Instead of a comet, I got to enjoy the twinkling golden yellow of Venus, as well as the brilliance of the super moon behind me in the east. I'm okay with that.

Dale joined me the following evening, but still no comet sighting. The moon on my back shone beautifully though!
