FRIDAY THE 13TH FULL HARVEST MOON #GLOUCESTERMA #SCHOONER

Friday the 13th full moon through the masts of the Schooner Liberty Clipper

A flock of birds flew by…

and then a butterfly flew by (not really, but doesn’t this bird look like it could be a butterfly?).

HARVEST MOON DESCENDING INTO DAWN CLOUDS

From several mornings ago, of the full October Harvest Moon. As the sun was rising, the moon was clearly visible over the Harbor and from the vantage point of the Dogbar Breakwater.

OCTOBER’S HARVEST MOON RISING OVER NILES POND

Returning from photographing at the Lighthouse I turned the bend and there was tonight’s spectacular full Harvest Moon rising over Niles Pond. I wished there had been time to set up my tripod! 

BEAUTIFUL HARVEST MOONRISE-MOONSET

The Total Eclipse of the Moon

Just a few more shots of the Harvest Moon and it’s Eclipse.

The Ukeladies are learning Harvest Moon–I’d forgotten about this beautiful song and the fairly recent video, released by Neil Young in 2012, is so very sweet.

Moonbeams Over Niles Pond

Yesterday afternoon I was photographing a friend’s garden, looking west towards the very last shimmer of sunlight as it melted into the horizon. I packed up my gear and while heading home, passed the rising Harvest Moon brightly illuminating Niles Pond. Knowing my family was home hungrily waiting for dinner, I hopped out of the car and snapped away for only a brief moment, wishing I could stay but happy to to get a few photos. At this time of year, every which way you turn brings the reward of unfolding beauty.
