    • Thanks Jo. The moon can be so pretty as it rises. There’s just a brief time to catch it though.

    • Thanks Malcolm. Digital photography is great: I wouldn’t have tried this shot with film.

    • It did seem to be. Soon after this photo the moon ducked back into the clouds.

    • They sure do! Those Antelope Bitterbush are favorites of mine too because of how good they are for the deer in a tough winter.

  9. To paraphrase the estimable Bill Monroe: “Full moon of montucky, keep on shining…” A beautiful image with quite a sense of movement where the clouds sweep around the moon.

    • Movement is right. When there are clouds like that around the moon has lots of ways to be exciting … or hide.

  15. Eerie but beautiful all at the same time. Watching the moon rise in the sky captures my attention, but I’ve never been able to capture a satisfying photo. Where’s the love button when you need it? I don’t just like this one, Montucky, I love it.

    • I just happened to catch this at the right time. To the east of our house there is a hill and as I happened to look out that way the moon was just rising above the top of it.
