Recuperation journey: Lucky capture day

I came out of CVS in Derby this afternoon to find a partial rainbow. 

 I took this guy's photo right after I snapped the rainbow pic. He wasn't impressed when I told him there was a rainbow.  

Did I head North to do some leaf peeping? This photo looks like I may have but actually I was in the parking lot at Target in downtown Ansonia.

Recuperation journey: Looking at the morning sky

  I took this photo at about 7:40 a.m. today of the sunrise reflected on the clouds and when I turned around the same sky was clear and a beautiful shade of blue.

The waning gibbous moon is 75 percent visible. 
Next full moon is on Nov. 22, Thanksgiving Day.
