Skywatch

Over the weekend I went to the beach to get a picture of the full moon as it was rising over the horizon. I was somewhat disappointed because since it is supposed to be closer to earth I just thought it would look really really big.
If you look closely you can see the moon rising. There must be a haze on the horizon, because it was hard to see with the sun still shining.Anyway, I hung around till the sun went down to get a few pictures of the moonlight ocean.

Then as I arrived back at my house the moon was so bright and looked cool with the clouds. So this is the moon's view from my backyard.

Very nice. The second one is my favorite.

That second one is so smooth and clear looking. I like the first one best tho. I wouldn't have noticed the moon if you hadn't mentioned it.

These are gorgeous! Love the clouds around that moon in the last one.

Congrats Grandma! :) They are precious.

That is a nice shot on the moon.

I really like that first one -- seems so mysterious! I have missed you posting also. . . checked several times. Hope you had a great time at the beach. We have weather in the 50's so it has been great walking weather. Come see my new photos of Mt. Hood.

I could not get any photos of the moon -- still haven't mastered night photos with this new camera. I miss my old one so much!

I love photos frome the shoreline. Your moon shot is great. I have a hard time getting them so they aren't blurry.
