Blue Moon



Early this morning - like 4:30
It was so light outside
I opened the door and went outside

The moon was spectacular
Tried to get a good image
Very soon it was out of my view

Wondered if anyone else was wandering
around in their yard
looking at the sky!

Did a little research - with the thought "is this a Harvest Moon?"

All articles stated that it was known as a Blue Moon.

Was going to see if I could enhance the image - but thought I would leave it
authentic.

If you enlarge you can see a little more detail.

  1. Capturing the moon through a camera is almost impossible without a tripod. It moves...you move...still lovely views early this morning!

  2. Tabor, early this morning the color of the moon was beautiful. It may repeat tonigh - but do not think I will be outside wandering around in my pajamas :)

  5. A cold draught
    across the clouds
    and she wakes up
    and appears
    at the sky window
    messing up
    while trying
    to
    push back
    her tousled hair
    from her face,
    framed
    in the light
    of the lamp
    powered by the Sun....

    Leaves
    stretching their veins
    and shrugging off the dew;
    branches shivering
    in the early dawn,
    she hears the far away chirping
    of the birds,
    takes a resigned breath,
    taps a cloud
    in reassurance
    and carries on
    to her hilly abode....

    Celestial Damsels
    of the Night
    dont participate
    in competitions
    with the Sun....

  7. Spectacular is the word for the photos of the moon and your last photo of a golden red sky. You are an early riser:)
