Virgas hung from anemic clouds Teasing parched earth that begged for rain Moon rose, hung in the trees Strawberry Moon forever? Night heron and Snowiy egret reflected in Rio Grande’s water It’s dwindling into a stream Stormclouds blushed at sunset Embarrassed by their precipitous disfunction
I went to bed before the moon rose last night. However, I woke up at 2:00 am and walked out with the moon and the stars. The moon was so bright it was casting very sharp shadows. My moon exposures were major to say the least.
The sky at 2:00 am illuminated by a super Strawberry moon.
Super Strawberry moon, 99.9% full, at 2:00 am. My exposure was 1/2500 of a second, ƒ/7.1 at 100 ISO. I believe that is the first time I have gotten that much detail in a supermoon.
Blue grosbeak
We have not seen Peter, Paul, and Mary for the past three nights. They probably flew further south in search of food. However, we did see three beavers feasting on willows.
Bullfrog, a female Wood duck in the Clearwater ditch, and a male Wood duck in the Rio Grande.
Thunderstorm with rain that never reaches the ground.
What we call Spider Lilies finally decided to bloom after getting watered on Thursday
I missed the Strawberry Moon on Thursday night because of clouds and trees. Last night we were still at Laurie’s parents’ house a little after 10 pm when the post Strawberry Strawberry Moon rose.
