23rd April Conjunction

Also managed to get down to the beach a few photos.
Alas on way down, I got caught up in a spider web, with a bloody spider!!! I REALLY hate spiders ...
Trying to get tangled web and spider off my camera - luckily mainly on camera, and know could have been much worse, and hit me in the ...face!!
Glanced to the east to see the Moon rising over Maggie Island, and here I was getting sticky web off camera with sticky fingers!!!
Finally down to beach for a lovely clear morning (sorry Mike).
Pic 2 and 6 also have Jupiter at top of photo.

A nice record of this conjunction Liz,

Wonder where the spider that spun the web and its family ended up, have you checked your pockets out yet?

Cheers
Trevor

Funny you say that Trevor .... once set up, I had a funny feeling the spider was lurking on my jacket hood, so had to carefully take it off carefully, so as not to make spider jump onto my face .... luckily nothing there.

Thankyou for kind comments
