A Snow Moon, A Sunset, A Duck and A Bad Attitude

The evening started with a beautiful sunset and accidentally finding a great spot for capturing the moon when we parked the car down the street from the restaurant we chose for dinner.  Unfortunately, the spot provided a limited view of the sunset in the distance and while we were eating dinner someone stole the moon.

There were ducks, trust me there is a duck in this dark photo, but no moon anywhere in sight.  When the moon finally made an appearance later in the backyard, I was finally thawed from the earlier outing, but decided to brave the cold again and captured a few shots of the snow moon.  

I was never able to see the penumbral lunar eclipse and basically decided the next time I wanted to explore the universe it would be at the local planetarium or during the summer.  Gabby did manage to run barking through the house at 3:30 a.m., but any thought of going outside to see the comet was pretty much met with this response.

  3. You got the snow moon shot! I don’t mind the cold, but wouldn’t want to combine the cold with 3:30am. You’re right, save that for summer.
    And Gabby does it again.

    1. It was a good night for photography between the sunset and moon and Gabby was right on schedule with her late night barking. I wonder how many other dogs are insomniacs.

  4. Love your title! The eclipse started around 2pm here & ended around sunset.So we missed the entire event on the west coast.I didn’t get up to have a look at the comet but we had too much cloud at the time anyways.
    Your combined pictures tell a story.
