The last full moon of 2021 rising over the Sandias. The December full moon has many names, one of which is the Frost Moon.

Wow Timothy so gorgeous 🤓 amazing colours as well 🌝 sending joy hedy 💫
Thanks, Hedy.
Tim, always amazing night photos. The vivid colors are incredible. 📚🎶 Christine
Thanks, Christine.
Your moon series is awesome. I too tried to take pictures of the moonrise, tripod and all, attention to settings, and they all came out over-exposed. I cannot seem to figure out how to shoot things at night.
Daylight settings for a full moon. 1/500 sec at ƒ/8 for example. No tripod needed. Thanks, Bruce.
And me who thought it was tomorrow night!
Beauty!
It will still look full tomorrow night, but it comes up and hour later. Thanks, Dale.
Well. Doesn’t really matter much here as it is snowing and there is no moon to be seen now 😦 I did try to find it…
Stunning!
Thanks, Cindy.
Stunning all, Tim. I love the light bouncing off the tree in the foreground of the last pic. Beautiful.
I thought it was a nice image while waiting for our pizza. Thanks, Jeff.
Haha. Great pic. How was the pizza? You’re welcome, Tim.
Village Pizza makes great pizza. We grabbed a couple of pizzas, drove over to Laurie’s parents, and celebrated Laurie’s dad’s birthday.
Sounds delicious. Reads like a grand evening, Tim.
Incredibly gorgeous Timothy! What a great moon series. 💖
Thanks, Cindy. I’m happy you liked it.
I loved it but my new 13 pro.. just isn’t doing the captures.. I might have to contract you for pic!💖lol
Full moon pics are a challenge for the 13 pro.
Amazing pictures, Timothy. Love how you placed the camera with some plants in the foreground. 🙂
Thanks, Ganga.
So beautiful!
Thanks, Heidi.
Foto stupende 🙂
Grazie Simona.
Stunning photos💜
So beautiful!
Thanks, Holly.
Have a wonderful day Timothy.
You too, Holly. It’s 8º F outside right now. Frosty morning and the Frost Moon is still shining. What are you up to on this fine Sunday?
Brrr! Stay bundled. It’s a toasty 75 f here. A lazy morning so far, I’m sure I’ll be watching the Dolphins later. When will Football season end!? Have a lovely day, I’m sure it’s beautiful there.
Sunshine and cold. It’s up to a blistering 9º F.
Oh wow! Thermometer is zipping on up there. Got the fireplace going?
We don’t have a fireplace. We have a few extra heaters around for the kitties.
Well, stay toasty , kitties too. I imagine they like to cuddle to stay warm.
The cold makes them frisky and wild, but they also love to snuggle up on heat sources to replenish their energy so they go wild again.
Little rascals. I wish we could bottle that energy. I have a black cat from the neighborhood spends hours in the fork of the largest tree ( a Mahogany) in my yard. He runs away when I try to catch a pic. Very skittish, I am pretty sure he belongs to someone though, not a feral.
I see Holly there has beaten me to the comment. It is beautiful.
Holly is quick on the comment. Thanks, Shey.
For a Frost Moon it looks very hot!!! 😉
Wow, Tim! Sandias are such breathtaking embrace for the last moon of the year…
🙏🌕🙏
It takes on a different perspective when the moon rises so far to the north. We had clear skies, but the painter threw in a colorful wash for you. Thanks, Marina.
He did but I’m actually grateful to the one who captured it! Thank YOU, Tim!
Beautiful moon pictures.
Thanks, Roberta.
Wonderful work!!!
Thanks, Inge.
Absolutely beautiful set of photos, Tim! It was overcast and raining here last night, still pouring today, a silver mist kind of day. I got a brief view of the moon the night before.
I’m happy you got to see it here. we could use some of your rain. Thanks, Lavinia.
I think we have enough that I could send some your way. Those clouds want to keep flowing north, though.
They want to go up and flood the northers some more.
Gorgeous photos and talented photography. I have always been pulled by the moon (and trees). They attract me in a soothing, comforting way.
Thanks, Eve. I love the moon in our cottonwoods. Difficult to photograph and get detail in both.
I can only imagine. My photography skills are next to none.
Thanks, Eve. With today’s cameras and phones, I’m sure you are an excellent photographer. It’s all about how you see the world these days.
Amazing!😍
Thank you so much for sharing these spectacular pictures! Beauty at every click! Awesome sights!
You are welcome, Nancy. Thanks for clicking by.
No “Bad Moon Rising” effect, I presume.
O/T: Our weather convo comments disappeared. Don’t ask what happened. It wouldn’t be the first time WP disappeared comments. I guess the algorithms had a hiccup or something.
No! Only a cold moon rising. Speaking of things disappearing, the Frost Moon gave Dale the cold shoulder. I’m never surprised when things disappear from WP. Thanks, David.
I read that. Dale is certainly brave in climbing to the roof on new snow. I did climb on new snow, old snow, ice, which I did in the previous life, but that was required. Otherwise, not a chance these days.
Never heard of a frost moon before – quite interesting. Really like the red hues in the second shot and the moon beam (frost cicle maybe) across the water in the second to last shot.
Thanks, Brian.
Gobsmacked again, Tim. Real quality shots.
Jealous? Me? You bet! Hehe!
Thanks, Inchcock.
Oh wow Tim …magical!
Thanks, Julie. Did you see it? No frost on your side of the world.
It was big and beautiful!
Nights don’t get more beautiful than this Frost Moon night!
Splendid!!!!!!!
Thanks, Resa.
