Seasonals

Friday, February 23, 2024

Yesterday was summerlike in Central Oregon and that felt good, but there wasn’t enough sun to dry the deep and slushy muck around a gate where my horses hang out, anticipating me showing up and bringing hay. They hang out and wait, increasing the slush and forcing me into knee-high rubber boots to deliver hay. My boots are tall, but the sucking slush sucks nearly pulls them off.

February’s fullest moon is approaching and I awakened this morning as the almost full version was setting in the west. I took a camera outside and snapped away.

The setting photo I most wanted was that moon with its little cloud hat. This image is unclear, but you’ll get the vision.

My new tripod has arrived. I’ll try it out in real time on Sunday with the moon being at its fullest.

Here’s hoping this great weather holds out and keeps the sky clear for good nighttime captures. I’m seeing some warnings about a sudden deep temperature drop coming, but if the sky remains clear, that coming full moon should be a great photo op.

Dear Friends: Its morning settings are exciting, a wonderful first sight of the day. Diana
