Reach for the Sky!

My small camera does not have a long range zoom. It has a good macro lens for getting close-ups of flowers and critters, but birds and other far-away objects present a greater challenge and sometimes end up being blurs.

However, I occasionally look up and see something that I want to photograph. 

Last week, the rising full (almost) moon got my attention as I was walking to my car that was parked at the Park Road Entrance.

I decided to aim high toward the east:

I snapped:

I snapped again:

And again:

It was getting darker, and the sun was disappearing over the horizon with its colors.

Time for me to head home to a warm house and dinner.
