Last night's Full Moon
We admit that we are moon-gazers. We just stare upwards until we get giddy with the gentle light of a February Full Moon day. We can't show you tonight's moon, the clouds are too thick for the subtle light of our nearest celestial companion to illuminate our nocturnal sky.
But we knelt down on our hands and knees in an open area to pay obeisance to the lunar orb by capturing its likeness on a charged array of semiconductors, also known as a digital camera. The glow in this photo is a little overwhelming for the camera, it seems to have saturated the picture like the sun. The thin layer of high clouds that preceded tonight's cloudy weather give the whole scene a kind of diffuse glow that we find most pleasing in retrospect. The tiny, but winter-hardy leaves of a Texas live oak give a little size and perspective to the scene, almost like an ancient Chinese scroll painting.
