The Blue of the Sky and Mountains!

On Monday, in the Shenandoah Skyline Drive, we stuck around until the sky rewarded us! The clear winter sky and the lack of foliage, make the mountains appear even bluer than the Blue Ridge normal look.
The blue just got more and more intense as the sun started to set. Click on any photo to see it larger.

And then the sun set and the moon took over!

And we saw a couple of animals too!
The deer were out in full force, finding the food, and then we saw the owl.

Evidently they can read, because they were all eating here.

Seeing an owl in the wild was on my bucket list.... so CHECK!!
