Another moon blog today.
I am not sure if I will be able to get the full moon today, which is calling for rain and overcast skies. The weather is really preventing me from taking many photos, especially with the winds bringing clouds constantly. It takes about 5 minutes to set up my camera, and next thing you know, the moon is behind the clouds. That's what happened this morning. The Moon was so perfect on the horizon, ready to disappear. I drove, got my camera out, and, oh no, the moon was gone behind the clouds.
Yesterday, the moonrise was beautiful, and I thought it was a full moon. I didn't have my camera around when driving from work, but it was enough to enjoy this very illuminated object in the sky.
Last night, when the Moon was high enough in the sky, I finally got it. Out of many shots, only one passed my qualification, and here it is. Also, when I was going through about 50 moon photos from last night, I saw something flying by the Moon. I cannot tell what it is this time; it's a large dot. However, last year I was lucky enough to get the air plane, and this summer I got a shot of some large bird, probably a seagull, goose, or duck, the largest and most common birds around here. And to conclude this post, the more I see the moon through my photo lens, the more I want to go there and explore. The moon looks so peaceful lying around—no worries, no 'moon warming', no stress.

This is really a nice photo of the "full" moon!
Thanks for commenting on my blog.
The moon was crazy last night - seemed very full and up early too.
I guess it will be waning now.

I remember one halloween when the kids were small and we were out trick or treating. The moon was rising right over the horizon and it was huge. After pointing it out to my daughter, I noticed she couldn't take her eyes off it. I commented that she seemed "spell-bound" by it, and she told me that she was just waiting for the witch to fly by on her broom like she sees in halloween pictures.
When you mentioned something flying by in your post, all could think of was it must be a witch on her broom. Thanks for bringing back that memory!
There's one thing about the moon that intrigues and fascinates me.
People right across the planet see it day in and day out.
Never thinking that 6,602,224,174 other people have seen it as well.
It's just another thing we all share in common, no matter where we are.

This is gorgeous!
Well, I could say that a full moon is always a full moon, but it's not so...each month the moon draws a different energy, and it reflects its light in a different fashion...one just had to be attentive to it :)!
Here in Portugal the moon was yellow last Thursday, big and yellow: magical!
Anyway I came to tell you that you have been awarded:

Wow, thank you for the award, so much, I will put in my vault for now, and soon I will be distributing them. Thanks again, Anna :)

Another great photo, I really like the way you explain the challenge of getting a great image, often people do not truly appreciate what goes into a great photo…
I love moon (and other space) photos so you have a built in fan here!
Cheers,
David
