When I was doing the Seven Days of Nature Photos challenge a few weeks ago, one thing became clear: I had really slacked off on my photo posting in recent years. I planned to remedy that, but realized I have't taken that many worthwhile photos recently. Still, I have a few, and I decided to start posting what I have.
This picture was taken the morning of Monday, January 25. The first major snowfall of the season had hit that weekend, and the snow still felt fresh. The Full Moon had been that weekend, also, and was the one known as the "Wolf Moon." (Every Full Moon has a special name attached to it!) When I stepped outside to get the morning paper I saw that the Full Moon was about to settle into a thick cloud bank and vanish from sight. I grabbed my camera and tripod and grabbed this shot, framing the Moon with a snow-covered Juniper bush and the branches of a Japanese Red Maple. The focus is on the Juniper, so the overexposed Moon and the Red Maple branches are slightly out of focus.
A minute or so after I took this, the Moon was gone, and it was time to get ready for work.

Thanks for the comment over at my place... Yes, that Todd and I were occasionally confused back in the day when I was still performing, but we're two seperate Todds... Same neighborhood too... Funny. Have you seen his new "True Nightmares" TV show? Scary stuff. Thanks for saying HEY... I rarely blog much anymore, but enough to keep the spot alive... Glad to see you are keeping at it!
Not many of us stalwart bloggers left around here. I blame Facebook. LOL
