Thankful Thursday

Tomorrow will be the full moon. I first had the idea to try to photograph it setting over the mountains more than four years go. By chance, I was out when it was setting and had a long lens with me. It was November 2016.
Over the past year, I've tried to photograph it every month. Sometimes, circumstances like clouds get in the way.

We'll see what happens on this full moon. I sure do have a better idea of how to get a good photo after all my practice. But will Mother Nature cooperate?

I am so thankful for fun pursuits like this one. They keep life light and fun even if they do make me wake up and ride my bike to a viewpoint in the dark!

  2. I so agree about being grateful for fun pursuits. This morning I've been out with Bertie trying to take the perfect picture of the cherry blossom which is beautifying the city right now. Clear skies today here, so full moon photos should be possible too.
    Cheers, Gail.

    Meanwhile, back in the Hutch (yay!) though I arrived in glorious sunshine yesterday, today has dawned cold, wet, windy and foggy. The moon last night was beyond beautiful, but I held off shooting it, cuz I thought today is the official full - and now I am the fool, cuz there WILL be cloud. Sigh... YAM xx

  8. While I hope you get your shot, just riding your bike in the dark to get there sounds like a wonderful adventure in itself. Of course there are all kinds of critters out there, big and small, in the dark. I admire your fearless spirit.

  14. I love coming to your blog and seeing your pictures. You are much braver than I am, going out to get gorgeous pictures with the large cats you have in your neck of the woods.

  15. The moon is pretty full and in other forms too depending on the light and sky at the time. Unfortunately, no photos of it as we are usually sleeping and Mom doesn't have the patience to figure out how to do it right.

  16. That is a gorgeous picture. And you are a die-hard. No way would I do what you do. I guess I'm "soft." Can't wait to see if you got a good picture this month.
