This was my only view of the harvest moon,
low cloud to the east obscured the moonrise all month.
I waited & waited, then she took me by surprise
& I fluffed the first shot!

Decked in finest evening dress, she made a rapid entrance
and my heart raced.

Although i had my thoughts & shared a silent communion,
it's the words of others that come to mind as i write now...
Annoyingly Chris De Burgh...
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight...
There's nobody here, it's just you and me...
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight...

But also a favourite poem of mine
by Mel Leavey
sisters of the red moon
we have met before, you and isomewhen, somewhere.in time out of time, the space between,the space where the veil thins and the mist floats acrossmoonlit oceans.
in the swirling chaos of now,tendrils of light flicker in the darkness.reminders of a lost tribe,of ancient ways where blood was holyand wisdom shared.
reaching across the chasm of time.over expanse of space and the shackles of fatethere is hope that in the dreamingof this and other things, we shall meet again.somewhen, somewhere.
An interpretation of mine is here.
This was also the last time I saw the moon at night...
cloud has been the norm
& somehow the words aren't flowing tonight!

Such an unusual colour for the moon but sooo beautiful!
mmm... it was rose. The full harvest moon fell on the equinox... would have loved to see it...the moon rise is soo red at this time of year, but there still should be some good ones to come x
ooooooohh....just gorgeous!
what sort of camera do you use? I despair of ever being able to take a decent moon-shot with my lowly point-n-shoot....
and so i found my way here eventually....lol
xo
s'ok mel... i haven't exactly advertised x
My lowly one died earlier in the year.... but had already been investigating 'proper' ones... got a 2nd hand nikon d40 off ebay with an extra zoom lens. These are mainly taken at 300mm but i still have to crop loads. have you still got the manual? see if you can adjust the exposure (to minus 2 or 3 if you can). If you go down to 'tonight i am the goddess' in september i've put a bit more in a comment... def have to write a post or 2 on this!
