Tranquil Clear Sky On the Eve of a Winter Storm

 A nearly full moon rose in a clear eastern sky as seen from Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Monday afternoon, December 28, 2020--24 hours before a predicted major winter storm was to arrive. The above image was captured at 4:42 pm CST. Several V-shaped flocks of Canada Geese were navigating overhead toward the northeast at this time, and I didn't have long to wait for a possible great shot of them with the moon, as the image below (captured four minutes later) shows. It seemed to me the geese were clearing out well ahead of the storm! Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
