8. Nice!

You are really out on the wide open prairie, aren't you?

I have to shoot the moon through trees at my house!

[fizzgig]

13. the middle one was just outside my apartment

but the other two were taken out on the grasslands east of town, about an hour away when the mountains start to melt away a bit.

we were listening to the coyotes yip as we were shooting that last one.

10. I love that! Great mood with the moon way above the clouds!

[mnhtnbb]

11. Last night the moon had come out here just as clouds were turning a bit pink in the east at sunset

It took quite a few shots to get the moon just at the tip of a tree branch--kind of like a bud.

17. Moon Emotions

After I saw the photo you took, I have a desire to take a photo about moon. But it's a pity that the photo which I take is not good. But when I see the moon, it reminds me of a poem about moon. I'm willing to share it with you:

IN THE QUIET NIGHT -- Li Bai
So bright a gleam on the foot of my bed --
Could there have been a frost already?
Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight
Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.

Yes, in fact , I really thought of my home. And can you share when you see the moon, what are you thinking about?

[mnhtnbb]

18. Lovely poem!

Thanks for sharing it and welcome to DU!

Ah, the moon. For me, I can't help but think about my dad every time I see the moon. He was a serious amateur astronomer. Every
house we lived in when I was a child/teenager, he built an observatory--with a roof that rolled off-- to house his telescope in the backyard .

And I think about reading the children's book, Goodnight Moon, over and over and over again to my boys when they were little.

It makes me remember seeing the moon walk--on TV in the patient lounge--of the hospital where I was working at my first real full-time
job the summer after I graduated from high school.

The bedroom where I sleep now has a window that faces south. There are times when I awake, in the middle of the night, I can see the moon
from the window beside the bed. And I am home.

[Elessiana]

22. I see that why you love the moon so much ！

Of course, the moon has special meaning for me. Every time when I see the moon, it always reminds me of my family.

As a small girl, every summer my whole family used to sit down in the yard, I would look at the sky to see the moon from the circle to missing, form missing to circle. Especially when the moon is circle, it's a day of family reunion. We can eat for a dinner together, there is always sweetness.

I took photos about moon last time , I saw the full moon. I really wanted to have dinner with my family, I can't live together with them because of my busy work, I will always call them.

19. Mine, SATURDAY

20. Nice!

It was lovely, here, too, with the halo as well. I thought about grabbing a camera and going out to take some shots, but didn't. Glad you did!

[elleng]

21. Glad I remembered too!

Caught sunset, and then thought, OH, I'm missing something! LOVE it when they pair so nicely.
