This weekend we had another "Super Moon"- a moon that appears larger because it is nearer to the earth. That happens when we are in the middle of, or the narrow,central portion of the moon's elliptical path. Here in central Florida, we have had thunderstorms and rain clouds filling the skies both day and night, and try as I may, I could not get a good shot of the moon without all of the clouds and haze.



I could not sleep, and at about 3 AM looked out again. The clouds had cleared from the moon but I still could not get a clear, slow shot. No detail- no craters. I have got to learn how to take slow-speed pictures.

Is anyone following the weather? Last week, massive flooding in India and Pakistan with hundreds, possibly thousands dead or lost, but definitely thousands left homeless. This week, it is the flooding in Alberta, Canada. Our super storm last year.... Atlas shrugged sending ripples through the earth.
