Did you peer at the moon over the weekend? It was huge, low and so silvery bright you could see all the craters clearly with a pair of regular binoculars. If you had a telescope the view must have been awesome.
Our four year old neighbor stood in the cold with us ~ we let her look through the binoculars and told her that men had walked there. She looked at us in disbelief.
We still look and feel the same amazement.

ReplyDeleteNice shot! There is something so magical about the moon!
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful seeing the moon this past Friday. So beautiful!! Oh well I love the moon... Have a great week dear Mary!! Love, Vanessa
ReplyDeleteWe too saw the enormous moon, it was almost like daylight for a while!
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I've never seen the moon through binoculars or a telescope. I think I will work on that.
ReplyDeleteWe were outdoors gazing at that magical moon, too. It has always seemed magical and mystical to me. It never fails to intrigue.

ReplyDeleteYou got a beutiful picture. George told me the moon was really pretty and I never did go out to see it. Enter that picture into a contest, you will win.
I like the picture of you on the side too.

Now I have the song "By the light of the silvery moon..." dancing in my head. :)

P.S. ~ Yes, the 'poor man's silver' is mercury glass.
I was peering at the moon through binoculars, too. I didn't get any pictures but it was so beautiful, especially on a crisp, clear Land of Enchantment night!

Mary, we did notice the moon. It was breathtaking! I love your picture. Why did I not think to get out the binoculars??
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind comments today. I really needed them today. I would LOVE for us to get together after the first of the year. I would love to meet you and feel the same way about you.
It's busy these days! I keep saying to myself -- keep things simple.
Hugs,
Lynn
I read that this is the last full moon of the year. Lovely photo.
