I took this picture this evening. It was really a spur-of-the-moment thing. I glanced up at the sky while waiting for Nana to get home and saw the full moon hanging just below a bank of sunset-tinged clouds. I'm sure you can see skies like this somewhere else in the world, although I'm not at all sure where that somewhere else might be. Maybe Hawaii, but wouldn't bet on it.

I bought an HTC EVO 4G last month and am still learning how to make it work. Or sing, as the case may be. Hopefully, this will upload to my social media site correctly, and the album share is set so that I can link to it from here. If not, y'all are missing out on a breath-taking picture worthy of an Arizona Highways spread!

WOW! HJ, you’ve made your phone “sing”.

Beautiful “song”.

Aloha Jinxy!

Seen a lot of moonrises that I wished I'd photographed (same with sunrises and sunsets in different parts of globe). Yours brought back memories the twilight while I was crossing the New Mexico/Texas border many years ago when the colors, both on the mesas and sky made me stop and watch till dark.

Here's a spectacle that as far as I know could only happen in Hawaii. Moon rise in Mauna Kea's shadow at sunset.



(Not one upmanship......just a reminder to take a look around sometimes to see real beauty when it happens.)

Good morning, Jinxie ((HUGS))

Beautiful sky.

I had one of those mornings a few months back. This full moon was sitting low on the horizon, appeared to be sitting on top of the trees across the river, reflected off the water. Had trouble getting a perfect shot with my cellphone (I was still learning too). Never remember seeing one like that here at work.

Maybe one day I’ll get it online.

Thanks for sharing...you know this stuff is fodder for my stories LOL
