Beautiful pictures! So that's what you were doing in chat on the harvest moon night? You said you were letting Cody out.
The moon is a perfect Halloween moon! I can just imagine a witch on her broom flying in front of it. Hey look! Theres one now! Yes that's your moon!

Yeah Geri. I had to let Cody outside four or five times that night remember? Everytime I got up to let him out, I was afraid I would miss the surprise party! I went out in the backyard with Cody though and took that picture while I was outside with him. I only wish I could have found my tripod. The moon was beautiful that night.

Those are nice pictures! I can still remember my wonderful grade school art teacher in Indianapolis, Mr Peters, telling us that a work of art never comes out exactly as you intend. And that you can come to be grateful that it did not.
I also like the sequence of two pictures, so you can see how the upper level and lower level clouds were blowing in different directions in the time in between - suggesting motion like the individual frames of a kinetoscope.
And what about the fact that the second picture is aimed a little lower, which enhances the effect of gathering darkness? Probably unintended, but once you recognize something like that in your creation you are ususally happy that it came out that way.

Thanks for the compliments Andrew! Just between you and me, I used the incorrect light meter when I took those pictures. Like I said, I ran outside and grabbed the camera in a hurry. I didn't set the camera properly before I snapped them. But, I did like the way they turned out. The sunset was really beautiful that night. :D

Will you tell them about the time you got stuck on your roof because of a cat?

Melissa! :o
You're a trip, girl! :)
I think she is talking about the time I got stuck on the roof just before Cory and I went up to Lake Wawasee.
As I was pulling up in front of my house, I thought I saw my cat on the roof. I was worried about him up there because we were having a heat wave. I propped the ladder against the house and climbed up to the roof so I could rescue the cat. Something knocked over the ladder while I was up there and I couldn't get back down. Cory wasn't home and after sitting up there for a long time I started to get very hot, so I took off my shirt, wrapped it around my hand and broke the bedroom window so I could get back in my house. A few minutes later, some sparrows flew into the house and crapped all over the place. Anyway, Cory came home, fixed the window and we caught and released the birds. I don't know WHAT I saw up there on the roof. Oreo the cat was inside the house the whole time.
I have a tendency to be a little accident prone sometimes. <blush>

I could too! I love to moon/star gaze! :D
A nice comfortable blanket spread across the grass, some friends, a bottle of wine and a good telescope... that's all it takes!
