July Moon Rising

Last night as I was closing the windows, I looked out and up, and witnessed the rising of the moon.

I hadn’t used my real camera in a while, but I knew my phone would never be able to capture the details, so I snapped a few pics with my Canon and this was the best of the bunch…She’s a beauty!

Yes, it was really that reddish-orange-gold color, probably from whatever wildfires are raging in the area, and those are the power lines near the lagoon.

Thank you, Mother Moon! Happily, I found a Leon Russell song to accompany a full moon…When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold:

I couldn’t locate a live performance, but it’s still Leon being Leon, Master of Space and TIme.

A Photographic Essay

I was clearing out old pictures because my storage was nearly full and I thought these random photos were worth sharing.

Spectacular Sunset Photo

From the deck, no filter, just purely gorgeous November colors! I DO love a sunset, don’t you?

Why, hello, you gorgeous angel!

What a little beauty. Sometimes my camera clicks at exactly the right moment. It’s like finding gold.
