  1. You always post the best moon shots !
    You diffidently get up very early the morning.
    I am interested to know what time were you at Sabino to see the Badgers. Son is a huge fan of Badgers and would love to see them if possible.

  2. This is a wonderful series! My daughter was behind me as I scrolled down the photos and she kept saying, "That's my favorite." And the haiku is perfect.

  4. The desert moon has been lovely, hasn't it? Do you think other parts of the country see what we see?

  9. Hi there - I had a great walk home from work looking at a moon like this! Of course it was about the only day in the last two years where I forgot my camera!

    Great pictures.

  25. Isn't the sky an edless source of surprises? It changes so quickly. The smallest change in the air can make the biggest difference from almost moment to moment.
