Whoopie Moon

Excuses, excuses, what can I say? I tell everyone about the big event and then get so caught up in my WIP that I completely forget it. Well, I did come to my senses a little too late. I did run (not actual 'run') outside with my nice room temperature camera to the unusual cool of a Harvest Moon evening. You know what happened right away. Hmm, not a good idea to breathe too hard toward the lens either. I forgot to have DH hold the cat. As much as I was screaming at him to take her away... nothing. Monday night wrestling was on. NOW - the truth be told, I am not a great photographer, and I do shake too much, and then...

...there is that cat.

Skyless cloud

I thought that since some of you share pictures of your cloudless sky that I would share too.

Remember tonight is the last of the Super Moons for a little while and it's a Harvest Moon to boot!

I wonder if I'll get to see it???

Hi Everyone!

Thought I should post something, so that y'all didn't give up on me. I'm just having a bit of the summertime blues - allergies, BP problems, sinus, balance, arthritis - oh, you know all that fun stuff I generally go through every now and then.

Another Super Moon is coming up - wouldn't you know it - we are supposed to have clouds and chance of rain and cloudy skies for the next week or so. Will miss the meteor showers too! Drat!

DH had shoulder and elbow surgery on Tuesday. He'll be fine once the soreness goes away and he does rehab. Our phone stays busy with relatives checking on him.

Jack and Jill are not happy with the hot weather, they spend most of their time in siesta. Me too, actually.

The blueberries are pretty much done for the year, they sure were good - what I got of them. DH does not like them and he told some folks to pick what they wanted. :(

I have been doing some reading, it's a great way to block things that irritate me. Haven't been doing much writing, after reading some of the great stuff I found - it's hard to compete - you know?

I hope you are all having a wonderful season, wherever you are!

Better blooms this year!

Just another supermoon...

Super Moon

I was afraid I would not be able to shoot the full moon on the 22nd, so the night before, I took some shots. Though not full, I like the 'almost' super moon better. You can see the craters at the bottom in fair detail. I suppose one can only expect just so much out of a camera at the price we paid. It is not a telescope and there is so much pollution in the air. (the camera moves with my pulse and breathing, too - my tripod had to be my knees - not an excuse - just the reason) I think many of us 'night people' have an attraction to the moon. We (the dogs, cat and I) spent quite some time enjoying the evening and night on the front porch, bug-less for a change.
