The Moon . . . Growing Up!

Among the grey clouds, the moon looks beautiful today – once again! 

It looks blue - er than yesterday, with some shades of purple  

I love the clouds around the moon, and how the blue merges into the black. . . giving it

a Halo!

Fierce yet Calm.

Light yet Dark.

Close yet Far.

The BLUE Moon

After 3 days of rainy weather and cloudy skies, I finally got a partially clear sky today. I rushed to click the moon before it hid behind the few clouds floating around it! And what a beautiful moon it was. . . with shades of blue and spots of white. . . 

I also happened to find some interesting facts about what today's moon signifies (http://www.thegardenerscalendar.com/Moon_Planting.asp).
Something which majority of us are not aware of in today's times.

Apparently it is a good time to sow vegetables which produce internal seed bearing fruits, but not a good time to sow leafy plants!

The moon is in the sun sign Sagittarius, which means it is dry and barren, and its a good time to plant onions! 

Haha ;)

The Moon. . . on 2nd of Sept. 2011

. . . and the Moon once again. Thinking about documenting the complete Moon Cycle this time. Lets see how far I go with it.   
        

The Moon, once again...1st September 2011

    Santa called me and told me to shoot the moon . . . so I did :) and this is what it looked like today. . .

    Loving my new lens - 55-300 mm VR, as compared to my earlier one... the 70-300 mm non VR!
    Waiting to shoot many more Moon shots.
