I overexposed that one a little bit.
Up close and personal.

The Blue Moon Rises Pink
The Moon was but a Chin of Gold
A Night or two ago --
And now she turns Her perfect Face
Upon the World below --
Her Forehead is of Amplest Blonde --
Her Cheek -- a Beryl hewn --
Her Eye unto the Summer Dew
The likest I have known --
Her Lips of Amber never part --
But what must be the smile
Upon Her Friend she could confer
Were such Her Silver Will --
And what a privilege to be
But the remotest Star --
For Certainty She take Her Way
Beside Your Palace Door --
Her Bonnet is the Firmament --
The Universe -- Her Shoe --
The Stars -- the Trinkets at Her Belt --
Her Dimities -- of Blue --
(The Moon Was But a Chin of Gold, by Emily Dickinson)

The Melon Moon
Regular readers know I have a fascination with the moon and trying to photograph it.
During the last full moon, I found favorable conditions early one morning.
There was plenty of light and the moon was beckoning in a bright blue sky.
This is the Full Buck Moon.
It is also called a Full Thunder Moon or a Full Hay Moon.
I shot these with a Nikon Coolpix P500 using a tripod. I really like the last shot. It utilizes the digital zoom on the camera. I think that is the best photo of the moon I've ever taken. However, I am rather puzzled by the belly button on the left-hand side of the photo. It makes the moon look like a melon!

Lasso the Moon, George
The Full Wolf Moon shone brightly last night, bathing the farm in an ambient light that showed us the silhouettes of deer grazing in the fields. The dim glow made the trees look ghostly.
The moon fascinates me and I like to try to photograph it. Last night it was late when I attempted to capture it with my new Nikon P500 point-and-shoot camera that I received for Christmas (thank you dear husband).
The shots are okay but I like it best when I can get the deep seas of the moon in the picture. They are in shadow here. The only time I've ever successfully caught the dark shapes of the moon are when there is also a little evening or morning light from the sun available to help me out. Otherwise I overexpose the picture.
I am eager to try this again when I have a little leftover sunlight to see what happens with this camera.
