This is a very ordinary moon. So, why am I posting it? Well...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Because lately I've had a fair amount of trouble getting good moon photos. Thanks to the expert advice of AndyS, I was able to catch this early morning moon. It made me happy to get it. I wanted you to know that all photographers struggle to get the photos they want.

ordinary about a California Peggy moon shot.

I adore all the photos posted here by fellow moonwatchers.

28% visible today which I missed, and likely won't see in the morning.

Won't rise until 1:20 A.M. Tuesday, and set @ 2:03 p.m.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Thanks, my dear elleng! I checked my moon chart the night before, so I knew when I could get it.

It was right where I thought it would be and so I got it.

I was amazed!

11. Great shot!

A long time ago, a friend and I were laying on our backs looking up at the night sky. Being a photographer I started the conversation about taking pictures of the night sky, the moon in particular. After my half hour dissertation about the difficulties of shooting the moon, he explained to me that it was not that difficult. He then proceeded to stand up and drop trou.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Thank you so much, my dear WVreaper! Your great story made me laugh!

[yardwork]

[Beartracks]

16. Blue Moon! Beautiful in its simplicity. It's not "ordinary"... It's *elegant.*

============

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Wow, my dear Beartracks! I truly appreciate your generous sentiments. Thank you. ♥

[Ziggysmom]

17. You captured a very lovely, ethereal glow on the moon. I've always been attracted to the moon.

It's gravitational pull is what causes the daily tides of the world's oceans. Since life is thought to have begun in the oceans, is it possible that humans may still retain some innate reactions to the moon and the tides? I think it often affects my moods 🌛🌚

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. What a lovely, thoughtful post, my dear Ziggysmom! I thank you. I'm with you on the attraction! ♥

[kentuck]

18. Excellent!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. My dear kentuck, I thank you so much! ♥

[Heartstrings]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Thank you, my dear Heartstrings! I'm glad you like it. ♥

20. The moon moves toward the dawn

Swallowed by the eastern sky,
Reborn in the west.

Cheers!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. Cheers to you too, my dear perfessor! I love your little quasi-Haiku poem! It's beautiful.

[applegrove]

41. Gorgeous Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. Thanks so much, my dear applegrove! Glad you like it. ♥

[HAB911]

43. It is a constant struggle, but

when you feel success, there's nothing like it! Great shot!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. Thank you so much, my dear HAB! I have felt that too, and it's great. ♥
