Moonlit Haze


As you've probably guessed, I have a fascination with the Moon. Late last night the view out of my front window made me run for my camera and try to photograph the sight using the telephoto. So far I haven't had much luck using this particular feature but I did manage to capture the scene. It was hazy last night with the last full Moon on the wane. I've jokingly referred to these type of nights as 'Jack The Ripper Nights'...eerily beautiful with a sense of the dangerous. The Moon appeared as a hazy 'ball' glowing through the still bare trees across the drive. All that was missing was the silhouette of an owl perched on a branch. A cat would've been even better.

  1. That is a beautful photograph Billie! You can always add the cat in one of your cat paintings.

  6. That thought has occurred to me, Mike. Maybe for my next fantasy cat?
