Moon looked pretty incredible from here in the sticks on the coast of Maine (there aren't even any traffic lights for miles) I've never seen such detail in the moon just looking at it through my old Bean binoculars, but I don't have the photography expertise to have captured it. Had my silly Jack Russell running round in circles and howling though - goofy dog! Wink

Great shot Peggy

I got the same shot except with quite a bit more 'soft focus' Wink

I am happy with my attempts, but I think I do better with my flowers Cheesy

. Nonetheless, I hope to get them on some cards soon.
Sorry the weather did not co-operate for some of you folks cry

'e' your description conjured up a very funny vision of your moon watching! Grin

and Doreen...SNOW? Shocked

It is so odd...We moved last August only 8-miles up the road and yes from 2800 feet to 3200 feet. We used to get snow a few times, but only a couple inches and it never lasted more than 24-hours (except once in the 15-years we lived there). This winter in our new home, we've had major snow fall 3 times. The first time we had about 8-inches, but it dropped to the 20's and turned to ice which hung around for 2-weeks. Then we had 2-1/2 feet a month ago which was accompanied by 48-hours without power. Here we are again with a foot of snow and still snowing Grin

We expected to have more occasions where it would snow, but this is still a very unusual winter for the area...at least I think it is Grin

beautiful picture, Peggy...

but to be honest... I was disappointed - I thought I'd see something really impressive and the moon looked no different to me, even through my binoculars... I was going to try some photography but decided against it... maybe it was the light pollution, maybe it was something else... but man, it just looked like any other full moon to me... bummer...
