about the Belt of Venus (I keep thinking of it as bands of Venus and I edited my post
to show it as Belt of Venus) maybe Alfredo? Can't remember. It's quite visible here
many evenings. But I haven't seen it--together with an almost full moon--very many times.

You never know what you're going to see out the window!

when I was taking these shots. Serendipity to see whether the moon had tree branches over it or not!
