last night met with my friends on the deck… although the temperature was in the 30s, there was a gentle breeze blowing which made us very comfortable…

the purple finch family were back at the bird feeder, and chased off a squirrel…

we watched a huge yellow moon rising while we visited;-)… I didn’t get any photos, just enjoyed the view…

later in the evening I spent some time back on the deck with my camera and tripod getting some pictures of the nearly full moon…

I am always amazed at how quickly the moon moves when you are taking pictures…

after all was said and done, this is my favourite photo…

my new camera is supposed to let me use my phone to click the shutter, but for some reason it just won’t work… hoping to find a way to get that option working and maybe take crisper pics…
