1. Lovely and peaceful.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

It was very peaceful outside; nobody in our neighborhood was up yet (except me!) It wasn't even cold.

I had such a good time seeing the moon come into focus, craters and all.

3. I'm impressed you were up and functioning at such an hour!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thanks! Me too. It doesn't happen very often, lol!

4. by the light of the silvery moon

Moon River
The cow jumped over the moon
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
Let's dream in the moonlight

6. Thanks for all those great lyrics, my dear bucolic_frolic! What fun, remembering them. ♥

9. Lovely image, Miss Peggy. For some reason, the grinning Cheshire Cat

came to mind.

11. Thank you, my dear niyad! It does rather look like the Cheshire Cat! ♥ nt

12. I think...

That might be one of your best moon pictures, the line is so sharp.

It was beautiful this morning here too. But I was out with my binos looking for that comet we are supposed to be able to see over the next couple days. Venus is amazingly bright too.

That really is a clear shot!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Thank you so much, my dear 2naSalit!

The line is very clear. Part of that clarity is probably due to how still the air was. Not a breath was stirring!

14. I hear you!

I have to brace against a breeze at least 80% of the time, I never seem to take the time to get out a pod for stability, I'll just lean up against something!
