Bigga Moon


It's nine p.m. on this Friday evening in North Carolina, and that moon at perigee is spec-tac-u-lar. Are you gazing at it, too?

This may not be the best or clearest photo, but I like the fuzzed light--this reminds me of paintings by . . .by. . .well, the name escapes me. Perhaps you know?

  3. Oh, yes! As ours (like OUR moon is separate from YOUR moon!) was a brilliant flame red/orange that made me run inside for my camera ~ although I know absolutely nothing about how to take a picture of the moon ~ only to discover there must be something wrong with my shutter release button! Oh, NO!

    So thanks for capturing it for me instead!

  5. And I thought I was the only one with a camera pointed towards the sky last night. I posted my photo on my Couleur Me Colette blog. It was taken in Wisconsin (brrrr) at around 10:00 pm. It was so beautiful.
