1. Wait'll you see the moon
It is beautiful. I'm glad it was out there watching over me tonight.



No matter where you are tonight we see the same moon when we look up.

2. My dear Inchworm...
I did see it, rising full and gorgeous out of the east...

Unfortunately, my camera isn't part telescope, and any pic I might take would not be any good...

I loved what you said here...

No matter where you are tonight we see the same moon when we look up.

Thank you...

7. According to the NASA feed I get this is the "largest" moon of the year
I still don't exactly understand how that whole phenom works but I appreciate how cool it looks

8. Oh!
Edited on Fri Dec-12-08 12:20 AM by Inchworm
I remember reading about photographing the moon and how it is a twisted phenomena. I'll look for it.

Of all the sixtey-two pictures I took trying to make the camera report what I saw.... one was obviously the moon. I played with every setting and even got out the tripod. :D

:blush:

EDIT: I hunted for the thread and couldnt find it. It was interesting though. x(

3. You always take great pictures.
The colors vary.

The two pictures in the middle have lots of orange in them.

The first and last are mostly pink.

5. My dear Lionel Mandrake!
Thank you so much!

I did try to vary the colors so the pictures wouldn't be repetitive...

Guess I succeeded!

Our sunsets aren't always this pretty, either.

:hi:

11. I was debating between Mars or Ares, but I decided that Mars works both in the mythological sense
and the planetary one. :P
