Supermoon

The evening started out cloudy.  I was pretty sure I wouldnt get a nice shot of the supermoon that was suppose to be out last night.

But, around midnight the clouds cleared and I was able to get a nice shot of the Supermoon in Texas.  To be honest, though, it looks like any other full moon to me.

Beautiful moon tonight

A couple of days ago I posted a shot of the almost full moon on automatic settings. Jacob gave me an assignment to try for the full moon using manual settings. Below are the results. I wanted to get the shot Friday night, but it was overcast all night.

I know others have taken better shots of the moon, but I am pretty proud of mine. I love the detail.

College football season started today. Great start for the University of Texas, not so good for Oklahoma.

Be sure to check the side bar, details on the Kaufman County Ghost Walk and the Flights of our Fathers Fly-In.

D60 Moon

I know this is just a simple shot of an almost full moon, but its the first one where I have been able to make any detail out on the moon. This was taken with my D60 on automatic setting at sunset with no flash. Imagine how good it can look once I learn how to use my camera.



Made it through day 30 of P90X. I checked the pictures from day 1 and today, and I can see a difference. Only 60 more days to go.

Stayed up late again last night, this time listening to the new music from Whitney Houston. Tonight I go to bed early.

I am still thinking about applying for this.

Terrell residents have an opportunity to learn more about their city at the Terrell Citizens University.

Scheduled for this fall, the University is designed to promote citizen awareness of City of Terrell government services and a working knowledge of City processes and procedures.

Classes will include a tour of City facilities and sessions on growth management, retail, leakage analysis, City government & public safety, code enforcement and more. Classes will be held at the City of Terrell Service Center at 400 Industrial Blvd. from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday evenings.

The application deadline is September 25.

I really was never into this movie growing up, and I hate to admit it, but as I get older I am starting to like it. Youth is wasted on the wrong people.

Skywatch Friday-Dusk on the 4th of July

Blankets were being spread out on the soccer fields at Ben Gill Park waiting for the fireworks on the 4th of July. We were treated with an awesome looking moon.

To see an awesome sunset check out Don's blog East Texas Photo.

Skywatch Friday-on fire

I couldn't decide what picture to use this week so here are two. I think it looks like the sky is on fire. I took these on the sunset scene setting. Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Moon, Venus, Jupiter

As we were driving home Saturday night we noticed the bright stars in the sky close to the moon. I remembered reading about the Moon, Venus and Jupiter all being close together and it making for a great looking night sky. When I got home I looked it up to make sure. Last night and tonight were going to be the best nights for viewing. Last night was cloudy, so tonight was my only chance to try to get a picture. Thankfully it was a clear sky. Here is my photo of the night sky. The next time they will be this close is in 2052.

Here are a few other Daily Photo sites with their view of the same sight from different parts of the world. I will add any other sites that I find on the CPD portal.
