Okay, it’s not Miami.
We’d need more ocean, Cubans, and humidity–
more beach and less desert.
Moon over two houses and three coyotes!
Luscious sunset, a reward while waiting for a moonrise,
then yellow-orange ball, old man lazy in its rise.
Post super-moon is not too bad a show as it lifts itself higher into a clear night sky.
I scramble to the top of a sandy berm, bare beet finding every errant tumbleweed prickle.
Click, click. Is this a good setting? Hard to see in the dark!
Scramble down the berm to be closer to the car for fear of
coyotes biting off my toes,
gang bangers cutting off my toes.
Click, click.
Then home to the bathroom window to catch a few more shots,
its brighter face waking to the promise of the heights,
and I trapped you in my camera.
Beauty, no doubt!
Awesome! Hard work, too!! LOL!
I’m still working with this camera. I would have liked more clarity, but it was still fun.
Lovely!!!!…….and what’s wrong with deserts and coyotes. I rather like them, myself! ;D
Okay, I love the capture of the moon out of focus – great imagery!
All in all, these are awesome…
Thanks. Would have loved more clarity, but still getting used to my camera.
Lovely photos once again. I actually tried to get a shot of the moon this weekend, but mine was a terrible failure. Glad the moon’s sticking around so I can try again.
I was glad hubby drove me; otherwise, I feel a bit vulnerable out in the desert alone.
SWEET SWEET pictures! You got the moon with the orange glow … CONGRATULATIONS! Really, I like your pictures A LOT! You talk about the settings in the dark. After using my Nikon for about 2 1/2 years, I’m finally able to change settings without looking. You’ll get there.
It was funny: I went from seeing nothing and going by feel to being almost blinded when the LCD screen popped up between shots.
And I forgot all about adjusting the ISO.
You are describing me most of the time. I took a river boat tour of the architecture in Chicago. Bright June day. After I got off the boat, I noticed that my ISO was 2000! Needless to say, the images are clouded with grain.
Wow! you’re the lucky one. can’t miss it for all the world, huh?!
we were on an out of town that night and happened to be outdoors when the moon showed its big and bright self, haha. the May 6 full moon was really something. thanks for sharing this with us, ms. lily. 
You’re welcome. Harvest moons are so cool.
Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog today. I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as clean as when I arrived.
Hope you enjoyed your stay.
As always, just fantastic shots; this time the moon in all its super glory. You’re good, real good.
Words entertain & amuse, 2. Thank you…
It was fun to run around trying to get shots in the dark.
