It was cloudy here earlier, so I was really surprised to see the moon up in a clear black sky.
I pounced!

This one's unusually sharp and clear. I was very happy to get it. Didn't need much post-processing.

I like your ducks! (I think that's what they are.)
elleng
(141,926 posts)9. Yes, a type of duck.
Cloudy here, so no moon; tomorrow (later today,) clear and windy, so moon should be visible.
Happy Solstice

I only know this bc when I learned it decades back; it was such a weird name to me - I remembered it.
It also makes me think of gibbon monkeys.
