I snapped this picture of the full moon several months ago and promptly forgot about it. I came across it last night and decided to post it. I like the the craters that can be seen across the top of the moon.

I usually don't have much success trying to get photos of the moon, but I got this shot a couple of weeks and thought it came out pretty well.

I keep trying my hand at night photography. I'm not always successful, but I do like this picture of a gazebo under a full moon. The picture was taken at the Islander Inn on Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, back in December, 2010.

Saturday night's moon was called a Super Moon because it had it's closest approach to earth in 18 years. The moon was said to appear to be enormous on the horizon. It wasn't quite so super by the time it popped over the mountains to the east of us, but it was still beautiful.

I captured this picture of the full moon last December while Betsy and I were at the beach. This picture was taken several hours before the start of the eclipse that same night. You can see a picture of the eclipse HERE.

Betsy and I missed the beginning of the full moon eclipse, but we woke up to see the latter part of it. This is what we saw when we got outside.

Last week's full moon was entirely too tempting. I just had to grab my camera to capture this view.

We have a full moon over the Glade this week, but I'm cheating with this picture. I snapped this back in June on another clear night.

I've enjoyed getting photographs of the moon over the past week or so. It was interesting to watch the changes in the moon as it approached becoming a full moon.

Friday night was very cloudy and overcast and I had just about decided that I wasn't going to get a picture. But just before getting ready for bed I noticed that the clouds had thinned enough to get this picture. The picture is 'moody', but I like it.
