Moon Madness

As winter rapidly approaches, mother nature is changing in strange ways to keep up. Sunset this past week has been at 4:00pm and the sun is usually up around 7:30am. The days are short and will still be getting shorter for the next few weeks. We had some beautiful weather this week. While COLD, it was clear and the dawn sky revealed the most amazing lavender color. Also, the full moon is now coming up over the mountains before sunset and it is the biggest moon I have ever experienced. So, the moon has proven to be quite photogenic this week. The photos can never do it real justice, but they still turned out nicely. I threw in a couple of sunset photos of Curlew Lake as it has begun to freeze over. I need to run out that way and take a few more because I hear it is even more frozen (and white) now than it was a couple of days ago. Winter scenery pics coming soon!
