We finally were able to view the moon and it was worth the wait! Mr. A and I spent quite a bit of time gazing, watching, and then photographing the moon.
It is very hard to get a good photo of the moon when it is super full and bright.
Here is our best attempt.
I took this photo of Mr. A up on the roof with the tripod where he was trying to capture a good shot of the moon. He decided all of his photos looked like UFOs. Too funny.
Now two last winter sky photos from the last week or so.
This one was about 4:45 in the afternoon when I was out in the garden. The sun was darkened by the clouds passing in front and it was very dramatic.
This was a different day at sunset…about 5:15 PM. Pink…pink sky.
I find myself watching the sky more and my boys are too. It is wonderful to have them notice a cloud formation or the moon before I do. I love sharing “moments” with them.
I love ALL of the photos… especially the first one of the moon and the second one of your son with the tripod. Great shots! And, I WILL have to get out there and observe the skies. How can I be missing so much beauty??? 🙂
Last Wednesday we had a glorious moonrise around 3:30 in the afternoon. It wasn’t quite full but it was big and imposing hanging there in a clear sky.
One of the scouts thought that it looked like Pandora from Avatar.
I absolutely love night scenes! They are very hard to paint too. There is just something that bright moon against a dark sky!
