Last night’s moonrise.

I won’t be able to photograph the Supermoon tonight because it’s He-Man’s birthday and we’ll be celebrating that so I photographed it last night while the moon was in the Blue Hour.
Hum…the sky is bluer on my editing screen than it is here in WP. I wonder why?
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday week-end if you’re here in the States, and everyone else I hope you have a wonderful week-end too!

Peek-a- Boo!
Here are several images of things that have caught my eye since my last post. Oh, and I bought a new lens so, I’ve been using it exclusively to make sure it’s a good copy. The last time I took my 300mm lens out it was hunting an awful lot…like it was doing many years ago when the Auto-Focus motor was going out which did quit working soon after. I had it repaired/replaced then, but the lens is so old now it’s not worth repairing so it has become a bookend and, I upgraded to a newer, longer lens.

So, what do you think…the lens looks like a keeper? I love that it doesn’t weight a ton. It’s a little lighter than the 300mm it’s replaced!
#1 Grandson is here. He’s been here just over a week. We’ve been to the lake several times do some kayaking. We’re not sure how much longer he’s staying. He says another week. We’ll see. I think he’ll be missing his mom and littlest too much before then, but he can stay as long as he likes. 😍
I hope your week is going well, and your slide into the week-end is smooth and easy.

We’ve been having thunderstorms with lightening almost every day lately so I wasn’t sure I’d be able to see or photograph this month’s full Moon. The day before the full Moon we had storm clouds rolling in all afternoon, but then it cleared up about an hour before Moonrise so, I thought I’d photograph it in case the following night was too overcast to photograph it.
While waiting for the moon to rise enough to get past the mountains I saw a couple of people in Motorized-gliders flying around the mountain where the moon would rise. I hoped they were going to stay long enough for the moon to rise, and fingers crossed one or both would do a moon fly-by. One did!!

It looks like a big bug doesn’t it? The sun was still up so the moon is really faded/washed out.
The following night there were enough breaks in the clouds that I was able to photograph the Full Moon. This is a two frame composite image.
One frame exposed for the sky and foreground and the other exposed for the Moon. I blended the frames in Photoshop.
Strawberry Moon
June’s full moon gets one of its names from the wild strawberries that begin to ripen during the early summer and be gathered by Native American tribes.
Other names for June’s Full Moon are:
Rose Moon, Hot Moon, and Mead Moon.
Yesterday the wind really picked up tossing two patio chairs across the patio, one cushion was blow across the entire patio, and a planter tipped over. The Zephyr wind wins again!😂 We also had some thunder and a little lightening, but both were several miles away.
Saturday #1 Grandson is coming to visit for a week or two for summer. We have plans to hit the grocery store and library straight-away. We hope the weather improves so we can go to the lake and take him paddling.
That’s all from here. I hope you’re having a good week!
