Some enchanted evening

photos taken 1/27/2010, first 2 about 15 minutes before sunset at 5:15, the moon an hour later.

Starting December right

The nearly full moon was still high enough in the west to cast moonbeams through the trees as Karl and I headed down the driveway shortly before 6:30 this morning. A bit of fresh snow on the ground reflected the soft light.

I headed out with a hazelnut mocha in hand. The big dipper was directly over the driveway. A wind speaking of Winter was high in the trees as I walked and watched Karl’s lighted collar bob through the woods.

Turning back towards the house, the warm inside lights, the moonbeams, the wind in the pines, the new snow on the ground…December is starting right.

Moody Blue

The nearly full moon rising over the mountains, through the clouds.

A little moon, a little mountain

The waxing half and a bit of the mountains just at sunset as we finished our evening walk.

Crescent in Mauve

Just before 7:00 this morning, the waning crescent Moon next to Venus in a lightening sky.

Crescent in mauve.

Moonrise from the road home

Not the usual wide shot of the road home, but I took this from the same spot I have taken the The Road Home Series photos.

While I like my shot and love being out capturing the moon, PLEASE take time to see
Leesa’s July Moonrise and then look at a few of her recent posts ( Leesa’s Home Page) to see some spectacular wildlife shots. Gorgeous!
