OK, another stretch for me. Hope you enjoy this.
Here are some of my favorite Shadow photographs, taken over the years, followed by several of the moon, both last night, and this morning as she set on the western horizon.
And my FAVORITE Shadow photo…my grandson dancing with his…
(This photo always makes me thing of the amazing and beautiful Whippets on https://whippetwisdom.com/. Worth a visit!!)
Last night I went looking for a perfect spot to watch (and maybe photograph) the Moon Rise…a Trifecta of Nature, as it was a full moon, a “Blood Moon” and it was happening on the Vernal Equinox.
Don’t get too excited. All photos taken with Galaxy S8+ phone camera or my point and shoot Canon. So no National Geographics winners here.
And, if you scroll down and hit “play”, I’ve even provided a background sound track to enhance your viewing experience.
I settled in and at first, I was disappointed because right about the time she was due to appear on the horizon, and contrary to my phone’s weather app, the clouds rolled in.
I almost gave up but decided patience just might pay off.
So glad I waited.
It got more and more interesting…
And then, I woke up at 5 AM this morning with Cat Stevens in my head, the moon on my mind…and shining right into my eyes. So I hopped in my car and drove to a place I knew would have a great view of the Moon Set.
The shot I was most hoping for just was not going to happen…too misty. From this vantage point, on a clear day, you would see the moon set behind the Olympic Mountain Range! If you look closely, you can almost see them…..
I had a truly profound time last night at our little local Blueberry Farm and Lake, and this morning at Sunset Hills Memorial Park. (Yes, I watched the moon set, while sitting respectfully in my car, in my pajamas, in the cemetery. Best view by far, in my city!)
Thanks for joining me. Let me know what you think.
Sound Track!
Leapin and hoppin’ on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow—
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if I won’t have to work no more.
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if I won’t have to cry no more.
Leapin and hoppin’ on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow—
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if I won’t have to walk no more.
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if I won’t have to talk…
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?
Oh you have some marvelous shadows for this week. 😀 😀
Thank you so much! What a fun post!
Those moon shadows are amazing Kathie, what a treat to see this! 🙂💖 xxx
Thanks so much.
I wrote on domeones post about how the photo of my beautiful, gangly grandson, flying across the sand, makes me think of your beautiful dancong dogs!

Wow my phone dropped correcting spelling errors. Sorry. I thonk you got it though.
Wow!! Great shots! Is that a adolescent eagle in that one photo?
I don’t know its age, just that it was part of someone’s grave headstone at the cemetery! 🙄
The cemetery eagle and the moon is a wonderfully unique shot, Kathie (Paul). 🙂
Thanks. And it is Kathie. Someone just accidentally called me Paul so I was teasing her. 😉
Okay, Kathie. 🙂
