Happy New Year ActiveRain Friends

I was out touring homes and taking photos and realized that these will be the LAST photos of the year 2009, and I suppose the decade.

These photos were taken at Grandview Beach in Leucadia (Encinitas), a favorite place to visit which always makes me think about that I really enjoy about being here - great weather, palm trees, the ocean, and wonderful views. I hope YOU enjoy them too, wherever you are!

I want to wish all my ActiveRain friends...those I know and those yet to come...the happiest of New Year's Eves and Best Wishes for 2010.

Cold as can be today in Wisconsin; 8 degrees and my son is ice fishing today. I bet you miss that brisk temperatures at times; no? The warm beach looks so inviting today. I hope you have a magnificent 2010, and it is one of your best years ever!

Happy New Year Jeff,

That was a great message and as for that shot of the Blue Moon, :-) I was going to take a picture last night but was busy writing and working with a Buyer client to write an offer on a property we saw yesterday. I have taken several moon shots this year but the more important moon was last last . The Blue moon comes about every 19 or 29 years, I can't rememer exactly what was said on the news but it will be a long time till the next one. I will be really old, dead, blind or living in a nursing home when the next comes along( depending on which of the number of years it is) so tonight, if I can keep my wits about me, I will be out there once again to offer another moon shot. It almost sounds like I am photgraphing a rocket shot to outer space but it will a photo of the Blue Moon. That is, if it is still in the sky and the clouds don't conceal it. I can't let this opportunity pass for the reasons I stated above. :-)

So here is to " Once in a Blue Moon".

Next blue moon on New Years Eve is 19 years from now, in 2028.

Regular blue moons happen more oten but I'm to lazy to look it up.

Gee, I always thought decades went from 1-10, not 0 - 9. Who knew?
