Once in a Very Blue Moon and Awards

This shot reminds me of Nanci Griffith's song. One of my better 'moon shots'. Our full moon was last night, however we had big thunderstorms and lots of rain...so no moonview. This was the night before.



Many thanks to both Noelle and Colleen for giving me this award.
I do not want to be ingracious about receiving such a nice award. I write this blog for various reasons and am pleased that others enjoy reading it. I accept the award and offer it to all who read my blog as I can't choose to whom I should forward this. Many thanks ladies. It is most appreciated.

  4. Love the picture! The moon has really seemed large the last week or so as it reached a full moon on Tuesday. Wish had taken a picture like this. Happy holidays!

  7. Janet,
    Nice photo...and congratulations on the award. We had the moon last night, but the clear skies lead to a good hard frost...it's supposed to be very cold and wintery here by tomorrow, just in time for the Christmas parade and the Oyster Roast Band benefit. Sigh...

  10. That is an amazing shot of the moon--beautiful! I noticed last night the moon was huge and with an orange tint, what I think of as a harvest moon. Congratulations on your award!
