  2. Isn't that just beautiful! I love the way you cropped it too. I never get a picture THAT clear when I try to snatch the moon!

  3. I love the blush of colour in it, and the words you gave it! I always hate saying goodbye to summer, but there is a beauty in it, more so than the other seasons I think. I never say 'goodbye' to winter so much as I say 'HELLO!' to spring LOL. You captured a moment beautifully here. Happy skywatching!

    Beautiful shot and quote though, even if I refuse to accept its premise.

  11. It's hard to believe summer is nearly over for this year. It just arrived here in Ontario. We had a very long spring that lasted into August, LOL.

  19. Sad to see the summer moon go. But, rejoice! The autumn moon approaches. It's my favorite.
