FULL MOON aka luna llena October 6, 2006

Oh, I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

Last evening, October 6, 2006 the calendar boasted a full moon, so I tried to take some snapshots of it, only to fail miserably. So feeling defeated I went home and let the fellas' on NYPD Blue take away the misery as I fell into a deep sleep. Well, when I got up this morning it was already daylight. In need of a large cup of coffee I ambled to Sea Mart, where to my surprise, there was the moon!, waiting for me to see it before setting for the day. So here are some snapshots of the moon, a full moon of October, could it be a harvest moon!?! Cheers!

NEW DAY, NEW WEEK, NEW MONTH, NEW QUARTER!

October 1, 2006. Sitka woke up to sunshine, very little clouds and no breeze. It is truly a spectacular autumn day. So yours truly took to the car, grabbed a large cup of coffee, and with camera not far behind, ventured into the chilly day. There was frost on the car again, and when you get a look at the photos here, you'll notice the new snow atop the mountains in the area. This first photo is of the Starrigaven Estuary, the fog captured the sunshine between the trees. The next photo is the same shot, but not zoomed in. The photo does not do the real thing any justice, but I did try to capture it. The road shot is going down the old Nelson Logging Road, the fog and sun were truly putting on a good show. Of course I didn't see any bear, and much to my surprise, only one other vehicle in the area. Of course, here's a shot from the UAS ramp, depicting the new snow atop the sisters. It is simply beautiful, but that means winter isn't far away. Cheers!
