The last supermoon moon of summer covered in clouds like lavender lace.
A huge wasp buzzing around near the ground.

wow Tim,
First thing I see is a lavender tiger.. beautiful. those hawks are so awesome and the cute little Frog. Nicely captured! 💖
Thnsks, Cindy.
Love your art, Tim! Such beautiful pictures. Those hawks are wonderful.
WHY can I no longer see my moon? What the hell? I am rather beside myself, right now.
Thanks, Dale. Your moon should be seeing your moon if you have clear skies. It should have risen around 6:30 pm your time. The moon is full tonight.
My problem is where I am situated. Where I used to be able to see the moon, there is a big-ass tree obstructing my view! I am bummed and shall have to find somewhere to peruse…
That sucks when you can’t see the moon because of the trees. Actually the moon has to get over the trees on our property.
It does. But guess what? I just managed to capture it!! Woo hoo!
Excellent. I just got back in from shooting the moon rising through the clouds. I kinda got that “déjà vu all over again!” feeling.
Sweet! I’m sure your photos are fantabulous. 🙂
That is one grumpy toad!
The moonscapes are just incredible! I’ve never seen the sky take on that shade of purple before.
Hi Liz. It was dark, mostly black and white. I made the sky purple. Needed color for the alliteration.
Ah, some jiggery-pokery afoot!
More like Photoshopery hocus pocus.
😀 😀 😀
Lavender Moon in a mauve, lilac and dusty pink storm. The photo looks like a water-colored painting.
Killer wasp wauting in the wings.
Stunning nocturnal bird.
Beautiful stages of a dramatic dawn.
That young Woodhouse waiting on the rain for a toad party is a great shot.
Thanks, abvr.
You are welcome Timothy.
Wonderful moon shots and pretty Nighthawks. Pretty sure that big wasp is a Cicada Killer Wasp, probably a male. They love making their nests underground.
It’s big. About 2 inches long. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
Great pics! I would have guessed the bird was a falcon. Now I know what a nighthawk looks like… thx!!
Now you know. Thanks, Leenda.
WoW
Love it
Thanks, LAM.
Exquisite, Tim.
Thanks, Jeff.
As often, once again you were in a very artistic mood last night 🙂
The shots of the moon are great and the frog looks so cute.
Thanks, Rudi.
Beautiful!
Thanks, Inge.
Beautiful toad but won’t kiss 😉
Hahaha! Thanks, Couriers.
I always think wow and then you surpass that the next day.
Thanks, Shey. I really appreciate it.
But you do and I love seeing all the aspects of the Grande.
Mega gasp…. what a Moon, Tim! Love your intervention and your company!
Thanks, Marina.
Der Lavendelmond ist himmlisch schön und auch die Kröte gefällt mir sehr.
Those are gorgeous pictures, Tim. I love the toad. We had lots of them back east but I have never seen one here in my area in all the years we have been here. Lots of tree frogs, though.
So beautiful, with colours and patterns, and at least surprising with the toad.
Thanks, Heidi.
Incredible! Now all you need is some purple rain! 😍
We need any color rain. Thanks, Tiffany.
The hawks are gorgeous. The toad is sweet. I have a falcon hanging out in my yard.
Falcons are fun. Thanks, Gigi.
There is a prince behind that frog face!!!
I’m sure there is, but like the Courieirs, I’m not kissing him. Thanks, Rebecca.
😀😀😀
Thanks, Rebecca.
These are beautiful images Tim!
Thanks, Brad.
The shades of purple are wonderful, Tim. Of course the cloud-scapes always take my breath away. Great catch with the toad — love that. Hugs on the wing.
Thanks, Teagan.
I love all the nightjars – kind of scary to look at up close, but absolutely majestic as they patrol our summer skies. That was might be scarier looking than the nighthawk – is that just a mutant one or is that a specific species that grow that big?
That wasp is about 2 inches long. Very large. I think that’s it normal size. Thanks, Brian.
I haven’t saw this colour of moon, so nice
Thanks, Meli.
Tim I love the dark lavender! It’s part of the fabrics I’ve gathered for the Art Gown to be dedicated to AGM Dale. Of course the one for Charlotte is first. I’ll send a pic manyana, so you can see!
Perfect if it matches Dale’s gown. Thanks, Resa.
I’ll send a pic of the fabric selection. I meant to do it yesterday, but it’s been a bit stressful and demanding around here.
Great. Hang in there.
These are awesome shots Tim! Wish my moon would wrap itself up in purple .. Gorgeous frog
Thanks, Julie.
