Just an hour earlier, the sky was a deep blue and the moon was huge and golden, hanging low over the horizon, however, it sat in the east and I was traveling west, by car. I thought about turning around and pulling over to get a shot, but I was pressed for time as it was getting dark and I needed to get Lucy to the dog park. On the way home I spotted the moon again, yet this time it was high in the black sky—it was so bright I don’t even think I could see the “man in the moon.” This time I pulled over and snapped. Not a very good shot, but I do like the light reflected off of the clouds and the barely visible tree line.
Not into bad moon shots? Then stop by SkyWatch Friday or click on the SkyWatch banner. They’ve got loads of awesome sky—why not join and share yours!
Thanks to Lana over at The Dreaming Tree for turning me on to SkyWatch Friday.

Awesome! I love the hint of cloud. Did you know that this past full moon was the year’s biggest & brightest?

Hi Lana…yes, I did, and for that reason I should’ve turned the car around and gotten that nice big golden moon! Thanks for the nice comment, though! :o)
Who, what, when?
Things have changed around here. Looks good!

Hey Star…yeah, wanted something different but it’s not as I like it yet. May be a little messy around here for a bit! Thanks for the compliment!
Hi there
Beautiful.
Ooo, I’ll take a look at that site.
The other evening we took a photo of Mars, Venus and the moon all visible at once. That probably won’t happen again in my lifetime.

Thanks, Juliet…yes, please take a look at SkyWatch…they would love your sky photos!
Hey MMMargo. Thanks, but I do wish it were sharper. I know what you mean about the dead batteries. Aaaargh!
I love love love the moon! I got a photo but it wasn’t as big as yours. Why does the moon look hugs but when the photo is taken it seems to shrink!?

Hey Theresa! I know what you mean…sometimes the pics just aren’t as dramatic as in your eye. I had hoped for a little more definition here!
