Pre-dawn clouds brought 0.15 inches of rain
In days of old, farmers worked into the night by the light of a Harvest Moon to bring in their autumn crops.

Beautiful.
Thanks, Gigi.
Cute intermission. 😸
Thanks, Michele.
I love the photographs and of course the beautiful kitty kat. 🙂
Thanks, Janet.
Harvest Moons are lovely
Thanks, Shey.
Gorgeous skies and photos Tim!
Thanks, Brad.
In the first photo, the clouds look tented!
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Your pics are always great painting references… or would be if I’d get my craft area cleaned up!
Head to your craft area and clean it up, young lady! Thanks, Leenda.
Sadly, that room is the second lowest priority for cleanup. I’ve saved lots of screenshots because you si frquently show water and clouds, which I want to “master”
I put up another water and clouds shot tonight.
I could work all night with this line up of photos and glad the cats got some playing time💓
Thanks, Cindy.
glad I dropped by and checked: I missed this post with its amazing shots esp the drainage one, and that info about ‘harvest moon’: heard the term but never clicked why it is called ‘harvest’
Thanks, John. Our Spring equinox moon is the Worm moon. Since you are about to Spring down under, do you have a name for the Spring Moon?
not that I’m aware of; and on a similar topic I like your ‘Fall’ : it’s much more descriptive than our ‘Autumn’ —
Always a pleasure to see what is happening down in your area, Tim, and always love to see the kitties.
The moon was beautiful up here last night. Bright clear! Not so tonight, rain is starting in.
The Harvest Moon is full for three days this year. Maybe you can see it again tomorrow. Thanks, Lavinia.
Possibly – this rain is supposed to pass on after midnight. There hasn’t been much so far. Mainly overcast and windy today.
The Rio Grande is looking might fine, Tim.
So, is Spunkie-Poo 💋, mighty fine that is.
Rats! I seem to have developed arthritis in my hands. We are bonded. xx
Arthritic fingers are no fun. We’re starting to have more things in common. I guess it has something to do with getting older.
I would say yes.. aging sucks.
Hey, I’m good with us having things in common.
Even something stupid, because we need friendly support! xo
True. Commonalities make for a better understanding of the travails of life.

Love these photos!
Thanks, Dawn.
Oh those skies look like paintings Tim! I’m sure Spunk is getting more handsome ..
Thanks, Julie. Spunk keeps up his appearance.
The farmers here are still using the light of the moon to get their crops in – the combines are going deep into the night trying to beat the rains.
Since the irrigation was cut off at the end of July, the farmers here are plowing under wilted crops. Sad state of being. Thanks, Brian.
