Speechless Sunday . . . When The Moon Hits Your Eye Like a Big Pizza Pie

By
Industry Observer with RETIRED / State License is Inactive Inactive License Oregon

Several weeks ago I was outside and noticed a very lovely halo ring around the Moon.  The glow of the Moon was delightful and the low-hanging clouds helped to reflect the Heavenly glimmer.  I wanted to capture it, since it looked so beautiful.

When I got around to uploading the photos I'd taken, I noticed the streak.  

Yeah, okay . . . I'm sure there's a "logical" reason for it.  But SPARE ME!!  PLEASE!!!!! 

I like to think of life NOT having meaning to every little thing.

I like to think that there are still some things that aren't "known to man" and can't be explained.  

I'm tried of science trying to unravel it all, although I'm glad Pythagoras, or Copernicus . . . whomever . . . started to think of the earth as a sphere instead of flat pancake -- otherwise we'd still be falling off the face of this planet.  

But, I still like to hold on to things, just a little, that are ethereal in nature.

The majesty and the mystery of the Moon.

well, not right now because I can't get at Donald's computer, but I have a moon streak photo too.  It was taken in the dessert in southern California... on April 19th.  Go figure, another irony.

Tammy Lankford -- PLEASE post it here when you can find it.  In honor of those crazy astronuts that took a Moon Walk some 46 years ago!  And you know April 19th is kinda near and dear to my heart . . . literally!  LOL  Hope your summer is going well.

I will try to look for it soon Carla.  It was taken out in the desert of southern California by Donald.  He was there for his nephew's wake.  And I specifically remember the date because it's Colin's birthday and Larry's birthday.  (Larry is Donald's step dad)

Carla, I am good with no explanation for that photo and simply enjoying it and embracing it for what it is ... whatever it is.

Hello again Carla ... my smart phone plays games and won't let me load half of my photos.

But if I am able to use my laptop, I will leave a couple with my comment OK ;o)

I remember seeing your post of this pic on Facebook and wondering what the heck would cause  that.  Amazing photo.

I take a lot of pictures, and I am often surprised and a little in awe of the things the pixels capture.  For example, there were purple light orbs that kept showing up on images I snapped inside Hemmingway's boat, "The Pillar."

Ah...moon pictures. I don't get too many goods of this subject. This one is very interesting. Let's make up a story, like some intergalactic beings are heading away from the moon as quickly as possible, because they are afraid of showing up in your picture.

Carla, whatever the reasons for your photo it's still pretty cool and should spark some conversation.

I noticed today a full moon up in the sky. Sometimes in our busy/tired-ness we forget to look up and have no time for our lovely moon and stars.....
