The Strawberry Moon...


No, tonight's full moon isn't going to look like a giant strawberry.  This was the full moon to let Native Americans know that it was time to harvest the wild strawberries.


A little later, as the moon got higher in the sky, and less viewing through the atmosphere (no color manipulation on either photo)...


3 f/stops brighter after it was higher, as well.  Yeah, I shoot these on manual to get the detail in the exposure.

I was happy to go out to photograph this one, even though the mosquitoes were just coming out, too.  I was still on a walker at last month's full moon, and going down the stairs in the dark was out of the question.

Earlier today, I photographed another heavenly body: she was holding her new American flag kit she bought...


The flag, the flag pole, the mount, and a solar light.  Now we need to decide where to mount it.

I have to ask-- Was the Flag made in China?

Nope - made in the USA. Joan made sure when she ordered it.
