Full Moon Setting and Beautiful Shyla

I absolutely love when the full moon sets because our entire western horizon is snowy mountains.

Unfortunately, it was very very cold as I tried to take these photos so I didn't do a great job. I have Raynaud's Syndrome, and I couldn't feel my shutter finger at all! So, I captured the random moments when my finger touched the shutter button almost by accident.

My favorite part of the setting of a full moon is that the sun is rising behind me as the moon sets. You can see the alpenglow and the brightening sky from the rising sun in the next photo.

For the grand finale just before the moon disappeared, I managed to quickly put on a wider angle lens when I saw the whole mountain range lighting up from the sunrise. Standing there in the mountain silence, I was so glad that I'd braved the cold to watch the moon set.

I shouldn't say "I". Of course, my best furry friend was with me during the magical moon set. After the moon disappeared from view, we hustled to a good spot to see the reddish light of the rising sun on her fur.
To my eyes, she is as beautiful as the setting moon.

    If I had to pick between a setting moon and my dog(s), my dogs would win every time!

    That Raynaud's Syndrome, I have it as well, and even now in our autumn on a colder morning,my fingers are affected. Do you have those photographer's mittens with the flap that turns back? I wear fingerless merino mittens on the winter mornings, inside. The sun on the snow, that is brilliant, and a wider lens, I love seeing all your mountain peaks and the GLOW, Shyla is a wonderful model posing to show us the very best.

    Never saw the moon set. It just sort of disappears during the morning coffee. However, it is always lovely when it accompanies us on our early morning walk.

    How can the beauty of a cold moon be compared to the magnificence of a beautiful soul wrapped in a glowing fur coat!? Yes, Shyla is the winner, every time.
