#100HappyDays :: Day 88

Though I loved my glowing blue moon shots this morning, I am happy that my moon drought is over, and I finally have written the perfect setting for my camera down!  A very happy moment in the day....having fun running outside with my daughter surrounded by fireflies and catching the moonrise.

Once In A..

The Blue Moon officially arrived early this morning, ironically at moon set.  Though I think this evening's rise will be spectacular, I had to try to get the official timing right.  It was crystal clear and 70 degrees at 5:42 this morning with the sky just beginning to lighten.  The moon itself did not have any trace of a blue hue, but I loved seeing it peak through the trees and light the midnight blue color of the clear sky just prior to sunrise.  A rather auspicious start to the day.

Blue Moon

"The moon is at her full, and riding high, Floods the calm fields with light.  The airs that hover in the summer sky are all asleep tonight."

Happy Blue Moon!
