Beautiful Sky

The sky has been absolutely stunning lately; so I had to share some of the photos.

I have yet to figure out how to take a good picture of the moon. I've read all about it on the Digital Photography School blog, and I still can't seem to do it. One of these days I'm going to tackle this! If any of my readers have any pointers I'd be open to reading them.

Full Moon Morning

We had the loveliest full moon this morning. It was hanging over the mountains in the western sky. I was able to get a couple of photos this morning when I got up to work out. I took another one when the moon went behind the clouds for a time and was back-lighting the clouds, but I didn't have time to set the tripod up so it didn't really turn out.

The full moon behind the bare trees

I edited this one a little bit so really highlight the moon shadows of the deck slats. I thought the snow melt was interesting from the way the shadows protected some of the snow.

I edited this one a little also. I wanted to capture the moon shadows of the trees on the snow in the yard.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  I haven't been posting much lately because I just haven't felt like it, hopefully I'll start feeling more like posting again soon.  I've just really been focusing on spending time with and enjoying my family.  We had a very nice Thanksgiving today, and I hope you all did too.

I had to share this picture of the waxing Thanksgiving moon behind the bare trees that looks so much like a Cheshire Cat grin.

It's now officially time to start anticipating Christmas (for those of us who celebrate it).  We're going to do our decorating tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to a festive home!
