Peace

There’s a spot in the woods where peace exists.

Magical Moon

Christmas Full Moon, December 25, 2015 … It was indeed a magical moon when I was finally able to capture this shot, after many, many attempts. Trees visible without washing out the bella luna, it was a difficult feat indeed. Perseverance pays.

Luna Noel – En Las Estrellas

The last full moon of 2015 made her debut Saturday night, December 25th, and she was such the spectacular bella luna I have grown to adore over the years. Framed between the branches of a majestic tall tree, the last picture I took (before my battery totally died!), the universe (and my camera settings) just happened to convene at the perfect time, revealing the beautiful full moon nestled against the background of stars.

Taken from Planet Earth, with my beloved Canon EOS 70D camera, EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens, with 1250 ISO, 1/3200 sec at 1.8.

P.S. Had this Earthling thought diligently before leaving town, I would have kept the 70-300 L lens on said camera, and brought my tripod (or at least monopod!). Alas, I had stars in my eyes!

Next Christmas full moon photography attempt: 2034 😀

Swaying

If life was as simple as wild grass swaying in the coastal breeze, I doubt any of us would ever not be happy.

Streaks

The sky produces some of the most amazing art; in this case, streaks of clouds kiss the sky.

Reaching

I’m not sure what this is, but I sure did like how this weed or flower looks like it’s reaching for the sky.
