day 19: the super moon!

has anyone been out to check out the super moon this lovely evening? i have, and it's amazing. it brings back memories, because the last super moon i saw over the eiffel tower in france (miss that place). i heard that the peak would be around eleven thirty tonight. so if you live on the east coast, you've got just about a half an hour to make your popcorn and grab your lenses!

i really wanted to post one with a moon flare, because i am pretty well obsessed with flares of any kind in pictures, but this one came out a bit better than the ones with moon flares (a green dot in the picture that some would probably say, "oh! a UFO!" now you know where the tabloids get their pictures. jk. they don't get them from me).

and, side note, i saw a porcupine today! so cute! he lives under our shed, which my pops is NOT impressed with.

Goodnight, Moon

I know the moon wasn't at it's full stage last night, but still, last night, when I went out to roll the windows up on my little matchbox of a car, I had to run back in to grab the Rebel. I was awed in it's lunar beauty as I sat, cross-legged, on the brick walkway, trying to balance my camera so steady for a clear shot. It took a few, because, if you've ever tried to take a picture at night without the flash, it's SUPER hard to get a non-shakified shot (yes, I just made that word up. I don't care if I have that squiggly red line below it, screaming improper spelling. I happen to like my new word). 

Anywho, if you didn't get a chance to see it last night (it's not quite at full moon stage, last night it was only about 86% full. Pretty close, though), here you are. And if you did get to see it, too bad. Enjoy it with the rest of us anyways. After all, if we didn't have the moon, we wouldn't be around, moseying in our little lives. 

On that super negative note, have a great day (even though it sounds negative, don't worry, if you have to be around this girl today, I happen to be in a good, if slightly volatile, mood)!
