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.
