A fantastic finish
I’m certainly very happy that I still have a sense of awe and wonder for the things around me. It certainly makes photography fun! I was on the way back from my evening walk and had absolutely no idea that there was a full moon tonight. I would have seen it earlier, but the moon was rising behind me. Fortunately, the last turn pointed me right in the direction of the moon. I wasn’t very tired and was feeling quite well, but that sight made me feel even better. Previous thoughts of going directly in and taking a shower were lost!
I went directly to my car, got my camera and tripod and commenced to shooting photos of the moon. I must have looked quite a sight because I was sweating a bit. People were probably thinking that photography was pretty strenuous or that my camera was awfully heavy! After all, who sweats while shooting in 70 degree weather! 
I hadn’t shot with my 80-200 in a while. It was certainly a pleasure. It was a great 20 minutes or so. After it got dark, I went in, had my shower, and was very pleased with my fantastic finish!
Outstanding! What a great find.
Great photo…I was out shooting the moon tonight also but i didn’t get anything as good as that. Excellent!
Thanks, guys! I had to move around a bit to get this composition, but it was worth the effort. I don’t know why, but when I look at this photo, I think about E.T. … but there’s no one riding a bicycle in front of this moon. At least, none that I saw!
Just wonderful. The moving and the sweating paid off big time. Placing the weather vane in the story was a great choice.
It’s those extended moments that can make or break a day… Great finish indeed!
