Here's a pic from last evening's conjuction of Jupiter, Mercury, and a
very 
young Moon, as seen from Saguaro National Park West:

I was able to pick out Venus naked eye (4 pm MST) while waiting for this 
sunset. The cresent moon was much more difficult and I didn't catch that 
until 5:45 pm. Tonight should also be a good night to catch the Moon about 2 
degrees east of Jupiter, with Mercury just a half degree SW of Jupiter. 
Venus will be about 22 degrees east of the Moon.
