Photo: New moon for first day of spring

Our own Moon Man, Jerry Pickard, captured this beautiful shot of the New Moon on the first day of Spring 2013.

Jerry says, "Spring 2013 started off with a bang! In the afternoon yesterday the storms rolled in from the south west with rain, sleet and hail accompanied by thunder. Today started out with snow showers coming out of the north and stopping in the Shoreline area. By mid-afternoon the clouds had blown past headed for Montana and the sun was out. The evening was crystal clear with a new moon an stars everywhere. At eleven pm it was still clear and the new moon was high overhead."
