Today the typically pleasant,
normal September weather returned to Los Gatos after several gloomy and unseasonably cold days took hold of us. It was too
nice to stay indoors so in the late afternoon, I grabbed the leash and asked our aging black lab, Bella, if she wanted to
go for a walk.
She limps now, but moves fast at the sound of food or the promise of a walk. We were out the door quickly.
After a stroll down Bacigalupi Drive, greeting neighbors and other dog walkers and pedestrians, we returned home to a
really beautiful site. The moon was just about full and it was almost exactly between two palm trees straight ahead of
me.
Getting Bella inside, I grabbed my Canon Power Shot out of my car and brought it outside, only to find the rechargeable
batteries had died.
Got new ones off the charger and snapped a few shots. They didn't look good in the tiny little window of the camera and I
was afraid that the impact would be lost. I took about a half dozen shots and then the batteries died again. Grrr. But I
got what I needed.
It wasn't until I
uploaded the pics to my computer that I could see if this would work or not. I think it does come across - though still
not as breathtaking as when I saw it "live" today.
Here I think the moon looks so much like a ping pong ball suspended between two palmy paddles.
Forsalebyowner - thanks. It was a really nice evening, and much appreciated after some unseasonably cooler weather in the days beforehand. We are lucky to enjoy a good climate here most of the time.
Thanks Laurie! I helped that the moon was low enough to be viewed against something else. Can you ever get the moon there with the Queen Mary in the shot? I bet that would look so beautiful.
