Jupiter, and Moon; Venus and Moon

For two nights in the western sky after sunset the moon danced with two planets. On the night of March 25 the thin crescent moon paired up with Jupiter. Then on March 26 the crescent moon paired up with bright Venus. This has been quite the month of planetary shows with the guest host of the show coming in at the end of the month, to finish it off with a bang.

Below are a few of images I got from the 25th and 26th. Also for this I have some user contributed pictures from a few Adirondack locals.
