I keep meaning to ask you - do you love Keith Urban? Went to his concert a few years ago (he was opening act for Kenny Chesney - not too bad, huh?)

Love your sky shots - that moon is impressive.

Thank you Carletta for sharing these pictures. They are great.
I looked at the cloud formation first and was amazed at the colours, when I saw the moon, well speechless is the word.

Hi Carletta: I got some link issues early today on my SWF url. I miss your comment on my entry :(

You could almost picture the sunset being the moonrise with the moon glowing orange like that.

I updated my "Story Behind the Moon Shot" post with the technical info on my SWF for this week since several people had asked. That post is scheduled for tomorr... uh... what day is it anyway??

It's scheduled for Saturday.

Whenever that is.

Hi Carletta, I like your pretty sunset. And I am jealous of your Orange Halloween moon. My camera isn't good enough to get moon shots.
