2010 but no blue moon!


The weather didn't cooperate for me to get a moon shot, but I did get some interesting stuff; it's snowing lightly, but the lights of town are visible and glowing softly.
I went out to the horse pens; Beamer was quite happy to have a midnight visitor,

even if I didn't whisper sweet nothings in his ear.
My new camera does a little better at night shots than the last one; this photo isn't edited:

So I played with Beamer for a bit, and saw some fireworks, too far away to be interesting, and it's off to sleep for me- hope you all had a great evening!

No moon here, either, sadly. Well, I'm sure it was there, just covered by layers of clouds. Bummer!

Happy New Year, Shirley!

Beautiful blue moon here last night! I wish my camera was good enough to shot it. I was up several times during the night and it was like daylight outside!!
Happy New Year. :)
