Lunar Landing!

We were out in Joshua Tree last weekend. I wasn't planning on taking moon shots, but just happened to notice the moon coming in for a landing over the Joshua Tree boulders (Saturday, 12.12.15 at 6:30 PM). Right place, right time!! These are straight out of the camera except for some image cropping.

    I must be honest, When I was perusing the Skywatch Linking Tool, I saw your thumbnail pic and the title of the post here just 'grabbed me'

    This is ONE INCREDIBLE photo series.

    How fun. I was just in Palm springs and did manage to get out and shoot some Costa's hummingbirds. Alas I didn't have time to get up to Joshua Tree.

    to see the moon this way is not so common. It is usually the sun setting. Loved it.
