Jet contrails, wispy clouds, the ascending sun, calm waters. It's the beginning of the Pure Michigan spring day here at Cedar Bluff overlooking Lake Huron.
The new moon rose at 7:07 am Eastern Daylight Time. This photo was taken at 7:31 am. So out there, in the glow of the sunrise, invisible to the human eye, is the new moon. Within a day or two we will see the sliver of the new moon -- growing ever slightly, day by day, night by night, toward full moon -- set in the west just after sunset.
The moon is always a promise. Dark moon, new sliver, quarter, full. A clock of the universe, it cycles through life. Created, evolving, moving and wondrous.
