Venus, Mercury, and Luna

This morning was cloudless. In the east, just before sunup, Venus shone above the trees. Just above Venus, and a little to the south, was Mercury. This was a similar configuration to the morning of December 20, 2004, the date on which I first found Mercury in the sky with my own eyes! But this morning, a little south and much higher in the sky but still in the same view, was the waning crescent moon. It was a lovely sight.
