No Clouds!!

I was so excited tonight because I was finally able to view the Moon with no clouds directly surrounding it.  There were clouds all around the Moon making it impossible to see any planets or stars near it.  Here is what I saw.

This view of the Moon came from the street in front of my house in Moody at 7:50pm on Tuesday, August 21, 2012.  It is amazing to see the difference that one day can make in the amount of illumination observed.  The waxing crescent Moon's illumination is growing making it much easier to see.
