I didn't have a working lens good enough to catch a better picture of the moon. This was the best I could do.
Lit up is my after work play area for Cubbie. I hit him softballs every night for about a half hour. Except when there is alot of snow. Obviously not now.
I have a portable light in the lawn chair. The garage is on the right with my radio playing . The table in front of the tree holds a drink and a flashlight for errant balls. Squirrel feeder doubles as an ashtray and a dog slobber rag holder. Aluminum bats lean on the tree year round. The clothesline pole is on the left and of course the moon is the moon.
Stupid thing I did getting ready to take this: I walked two steps forward to get a closer view of the moon. (like that matters. ha) Then I thought about and laughed. It's like a quarter of a million miles away? What was I thinking?
Neville Brothers:
Kiko and the lavender moon out playing
Makes believe nobody can see
And then he waits
And then he fakes
And then he bends
And then he shakes
He plays and plays
Still playing till he
Goes off to sleep
Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dancing making faces at
A big black cat and then he flies
Up to the wall
Stands on one foot
Doesn't even fall
Dance and dance
Still dancing till
He goes off to sleep
He always sleeps
'Til the sun goes down
He never wakes
Till no one's around
He never stops
Can't catch his breath
It's always there
Scares him to death
Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dreaming 'bout green shoes
Haircuts and cake
And then he wishes
The world away
And then he kneels
As if to pray
He dreams and dreams
Kiko and the lavender moon

I like how the theme from Three Blind Mice keeps creeping back into the song. I have Aaron Neville'e newest CD and I absolutely love his voice and a couple of the tracks but some of the songs are destroyed by instrumentation.
That's quite the little set up you have there in your back yard. What kind of camera do you use? I'm just impressed that you can actually get the moon to look like the moon.
p.s. The Neville brothers finished so I'm relistening to Hallelujah. That song really is incredible.
Hi. Love this song. And talk about getting songs stuck in your head? Most of the L.C.'s were in there for awhile, one at a time.
A nice little place for after work dog time...I love the moon reference.
