Looking In the Right Direction
 |
| 6:50 AM EDT Frost Moon |
Here we are in the middle of November 2024.
Photographs of the Full Frost Moon were not possible for me on the
night of the full Moon because of the clouds?
Or else I was not looking in the right direction?
This morning around 6 AM, I notice there are stars visible. I shut off the deck light to see Moon glow in the backyard. Coat on, I step outside for a look around the sky. And what do I see over my shoulder in the Northeast...the Moon! Aha! I get the camera and take a few pictures. It was cold. I did not want to stay out long. All I wanted was a good photograph of the Beaver Moon aka Frost Moon.
It took some editing to create an image with details. I'm not a photographer. As much as I read to learn how, I often forget what I read. Wanting to be a good photographer has been in my heart for decades.
Following a dream to better oneself is a worthy goal. If you are able, then put fears aside to allow yourself to learn.
Now that some of my depression is lifting, I can get back to establishing routines to keep me on track like daily painting, reading, writing, photography. Routines are a way to removing emotional potholes in our path to be who we are, and maintaining good mental health.
Awesome moon photo ~ glad you are getting back into your routines ~ they do help ~ hugs,

DeleteA morning routine is he favorite because it starts the day out well.
Routines are important for sure. They give me a sense of security.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteA sense of security is a good description.
It doesn't feel more comfortable to have at least part of the day as a routine.
That is a fantastic moon shot.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bill
DeleteI'm surprised I was able to keep my arm steady.
Yes, you are a Photographer, and this photo of the Beaver Moon is mysterious and lovely. I have another blog friend who saw it as well. I have a dear blog friend who is a 'point and shoot' photographer, and she takes some of the best pictures. Taking a picture isn't the hard part. The key is finding an interesting subject to photograph. I think yours is neat.....it has a flare of light coming from it.

Sheri,
DeleteTaking pictures of the Moon is fun. Even when it is cold out, I use bug spray.
I like what you said about putting your fears aside to allow yourself to learn. Wise words, and something to take to heart right now.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteRight now, getting out the knitting needles to make a winter hat is the fear I'm dealing. Last year it was learning to knit mittens that didn't happen. I will have that hat this year!
Such a lovely moon photograph.
ReplyDeleteI must admit ... I too like routine in life - always have done!
All the best Jan
Jan,
DeleteThings go smoother with a path/routine.
Traipsing through a forest may be adventurous, but having a map makes like easier.
Good to hear you are in a better place. Routines are wonderful to give us structure and purpose. Wonderful moon.
ReplyDeleteHena,
DeleteA better place is more important today than ever with what is going on with our American government.
What a great photo...
ReplyDeleteGreat :-)) I'm thrilled.
I also enjoyed the moon, it shone in the most beautiful splendor...how fortunate that there were no clouds to obscure it.
I wish that no clouds obscure your mind... push aside the clouds... enjoy the beauty. Make beautiful things yourself. Hug
Viola sends you many kind regards
Viola,
DeleteMaking a note of where the Moon is in the sky is a big help.
I don't recall looking over the roof before. I feel kind of silly about that. I makes me laugh.
Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteI accidently removed you comment when I was trying to remove my comment for editing.
I think y'all had a huge storm system on the weather radar during the full Moon.
Your moon photos are awesome to me, May. I enjoy learning different names of the moons - most are new to me.

DeleteThe Frost Moon is my favorite. We just had the first hard frost about that time.
Beautiful photo of the Frost Moon aka Beaver Moon. It was a stunning sight. Routines bring order and predictability to my days, particularly in the morning. Wishing you good health and joy on the journey.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
DeleteThe morning routines are the ones that set the mood for the entire day.
