Photo: Crescent moon

It's always special when the clouds clear out enough to get a good moon shot - and even more special to get a perfect crescent moon, complete with topical features.

I've tried the new moon tilted in the air 

Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster 

As you might try a jewel in your hair. 

(Robert Frost (1874-1963), U.S. poet. "The Freedom of the Moon.")
