Day 42

Wednesday, February 16, 2022

Walter and I went up to Sedona to find a spot with the full Moon coming over the red rocks in the sunlight.  It clouded up and was a no-go.  I got this nice five photo panorama though! ~Curtis in /-\riZona! {!-{>

Day 18

Tuesday, January 18, 2022

Taken last year on this date…plus 13 days, actually, it was taken from our old spot last year.  It is only about 30 feet from yesterday’s photo.  Lots of editing to get even that much Moon! ~Curtis in /-\riZona! {!-{>

Day 345

Tuesday, December 21, 2021

I took a quick trip up to see the Parents.  Then the weather got worse and I came home early.  The dashcam video doesn’t seem to have been working…but I got some stills!  The Full Moon coming up behind some clouds.
