Moonrise over Mesa

Post-shoot processing, added moon shot off porch in N.C. over desert view of Saguaro Cactus in Arizona. Enjoy -

Gumballs and Moonbeams

Repost of "Heather's Moon." Trojan attached itself in a comment. I hope NO ONE opened the comment. I have cleansed this upload and it is certified CLEAN. Afternoon shot of Moon and Gumball tree in my daughter's yard. Best time to shoot the Moon is when it is directly above the camera. This afternoon shot is still very sharp. I could have closed the lens down, as light was available, even then the "Depth of Field" would have prevented the Gumball Tree and the Moon from both being in focus.

The Hunter

A Red Tailed Hawk soars silently above a harvested Wheat field. He keeps a constant vigil for anything that might surface above the field of Wheat chaff.
