Jupiter Saturn conjunction - a day late!

I was following the conjunction for a couple of weeks watching Saturn move from to the left and above Jupiter (the rmore brightly lit object) towards Jupiter. Last night they should have been aligned and looked to be one brilliant light. Alas, the sky was completely cloud covered.

 

A day late, I captured Saturn just past Jupiter with both peeking between the clouds. A few minutes later, the planets were once again shrouded by the clouds. I tried zooming in more but the resolution from my lens was inadequate to the task. This image, with clouds, blue sky and trees is much better.
