Insomnia has its uses! I saw the last quarter moon, just rising . . .

2. Thank you so much, my dear Judi Lynn!

My gawd, dear girl, do you ever sleep? You seem to be here at all hours. Or maybe it's just my imagination!

So pleased that you like my photo.

Yes. The moon rises a little later on each successive night. The moon is in its third quarter which means it rises after midnight.

8. Thanks so much, my dear John1956PA!

By no means am I an astronomer, but I was aware that the moon would be up when I was. I checked a chart I have and it told me that yes, it's there!

So I peeked out my window, and voila! I was very happy.

5. One must embrace insomnia as a moment in crusty-eyed brilliance.

..........and about that moon. We've got a similar nocturnal phenomenon on the right coast. Perhaps, a bit more jetlagged having left Spain only a few hours before.

12. Thanks for your remarks, my dear jaxepat!

Insomnia regularly plagues me, but I don't often have such a sweet cure as I did last night!

Hope your jetlagged state leaves you very soon.

And welcome to DU!

Moon shots are one of my favorite types of photos to take, and this one helped me relax and feel like myself after a hectic and slightly unpleasant day! I was able to sleep after I got this photo.
