Thankful Thursday - Setting Moon

On the day of a recent full moon, I got out of bed at O'DarkHundred to ride my mountain bike to a spot where I could see the moon set over the Continental Divide.

It was glorious to see.
The sky was purple-tinted due to a faraway volcano erupting and spewing particles into the air. Our skies have been purplish at dusk and dawn since August. It's amazing to see!

The moon wasn't positioned where I hoped, over our most dramatic peaks. I believe that it will set in the perfect spot in December.  It should be in the center of peaks behind Shyla in the next photo in December.
I have my fingers crossed for a clear dawn in December. I know that it will be cold!!!!

I am so thankful for all of the beauty around us. It keeps me going even during difficult times.

Thanks to Brian for hosting the Thankful Thursday blog hop.

    What a beautiful moon shot and of course Shyla looks great too. I tried to get a shot of the moon as it rose on the full moon but had difficulty finding a location near me where I could see it near the horizon. Needless to say I wasn't successful.

    Yes, get the hand warmers, double layer jacket and over trousers ready. We had a huge bright moon the other night, but at our new home, too many power lines, homes with TV aerials and more to fill in the lens. Love that shot of Shyla,
