The Brightest Moon of the Year!

14 years ago

Thanks to Lars mentioning that tonight the moon would be the brightest of the year 2010 and we were lucky here to have a clear night sky.

I don't have a telephoto lens so used my Olympus point & shoot cam with the 18x zoom on a tripod and used the timer. I'm so pleased with the results.

Details of the settings: Manual, f/4.5, shutter 1/160, ISO 50, tripod and self timer at 2 seconds.

Hey we must have been taking pics of the same huge moon. When we were leaving the lake the other night it was huge and shining a big yellow streak down over the water but I didn't have the good camera with me. It didn't look good in the frame but I'll check them after I get em downloaded and see what they look like. I forgot all about them trying to make the tadpole comfy, lol.

This year's 'Blue Moon' wisteria pics
Q
Comments (14)
I am new to the forum (and gardening on my own, for that matter!) and have been doing a lot of reading here! Does anyone know where i can purchase wisteria in CNY or online? I'm not even sure which variety i should choose, but here's my situation...my grandmother has always fancied wisteria. She has one in her garden at home but it has never bloomed. Our family owns some secluded land with a cabin on it that she used to garden regularly, 15 years ago it looked like a well manicured state park. Now, i am 25 and my grandma is 75. To her great pleasure, i have always taken interest in learning from her and continuing everything she has done on our family's land now that she cannot (she has RA and is not nearly as mobile most days). Recently while the two of us were discussing my engagement and eventual wedding (which will take place on our land that we call "the hill"), she told me how beautiful it would be if we were married under the arbor up there if it were covered in wisteria. I would love to make this a reality for her, since she is not in good health these days and she is very dear to my heart. However, all these stories about wisteria never blooming has really dampened my spirits, and furthermore, i can't even find a place to buy it! Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated. Additional Info: -space is not an issue up there/nor will be lack of attention -i can winterize the vine if needed -looking for cutting from old, reliable flowering plant -cost not an issue -the 'arbor' in question is extremely sturdy (more like a small pergola, if you ask me) so that shouldn't be an issue, either. -we have not 'set a date' for the wedding yet, but are tentatively planning on late spring 2012, so early (**crosses fingers**) dare i ask for-prolific blooming is most important! I WILL delay my wedding for those flowers!!! Haha

Sharon, that IS just amazing. It's overcast here, I doubt we'll see the "Wolf moon".

Tell Wolf it's all for him, LOL, that's what the Native Americans have always called it, the "Wolf Moon".

Great picture - I couldn't see it at work, however, and so I just now got to view it.

Closer to the beach, the skies weren't so clear, but I took pictures through the clouds anyway. I haven't looked at them yet, but I know the images will be blurred by the clouds. A few minutes later, the moon was in clear skies.

Super bright moon in a perfectly clear sky here in NY as well. Quite a beautiful picture you have taken, SharonCb.

I couldn't help thinking; there are foot prints on that distant chunk of rock.

I cannot think of any more verbs to describe the teriffic photo Sharon. Better than a professional shot I would say. Just as a funny aside though - look at the right end and you see where the watermelon was detached from the vine. ; )

Good observation Beverly!
