7. What a soothing picture. I never tire of looking...

...at the moon, in all its phases.

We have 2 sets of windows on either side of the chimney to our fireplace, long ones and short ones. The shorter ones are nearer to the ceiling, and often provide a perfect “picture frame” for the moon, if I am looking at just the right moment. It delights me every time it happens.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Ah, a person after my own heart! Thanks for your lovely remarks, my dear 3catwoman3!

We have a few windows like that, but nothing that artistic. They sound truly wonderful.

I have a chart that tells me where and when the moon will be visible and I use that to track it.

I'm always thrilled when it appears.

9. Thank you!

I forgot to go outside last night and see the moon, thanks to you I didn’t miss it. Spectacular subject and photographer 🌝

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Aw, thank you, my dear MLAA! You are too kind.

I don't know where you're located, but I had to stay up a bit late to catch this. It was around 10 pm here in California.

I really appreciate your very kind remarks.

13. I'm in Southern Arizona 🌵 🌞

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I don't know how much different the times are there from here.

Here's the link that I use to find the moon times:

As you can see, it can be adapted for any location. I feel lucky to be able to track the moon so easily.

[MLAA]

16. Super, thank you!

Right now we are the same, in the fall when you change times I will be an hour later than you are. Arizona is one of two states that don’t change times. Hawaii is the other 🌜

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Oh yes, now I remember! Thanks for reminding me.

It's crazy!

But you can adapt the chart for your own time zone so the times will be accurate.

It's quite addicting!

10. Ah...beeyoutifull...

it was cloudy here up the coast a bit. Thx for this...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thank you so much, my dear dhill926!

I'd thought I would miss it, since the clouds looked unforgiving. But suddenly they parted and the moon shone out so brilliantly!

I was thrilled.

15. I love your off center composition

How beautifully creative!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Thank you so much, my dear lunatica!

I always crop these photos so the object shows up more clearly.

I love doing something other than the "normal" square. Off center is just who I am!

19. I really like the placement of the moon in this one.

Elegant use of negative space to balance Luna. My eyes are drawn to the moon then back to the empty space. Nicely done.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thank you, my dear flamin lib!

I like your analysis. The off balance aspect was something I did deliberately.

But I can't analyze it the way you did. My brain just doesn't work that way!

I see any number of options in cropping and this one just looked really good to me. Since I always crop, I had lots of choices.

This is the one that spoke to me, viscerally.

Thank you, again.
