Venus and Mercury Close, a lovely sight.
Mornings are particularlylovely at the moment. High in the sky is Jupiter, and near the horizon are mercury and Venus, close together.
I took this image about 6:00 am this morning. Jupiter is up at the top left, Venus is obviously the brightest of the two bright objects down the bottom, Mercury is the dimmer. Venus and Mercury are going to get closer in the next few days, so have a look.
