One day, I'll buy a replacement for the old DSLR, so I can share some cool pics, but for now, you'll just have to settle with the daytime pics.

I knew it was close. I was out on a boat this past Saturday (not in Sowal) and the tide range was about 8 feet instead of the normal 6 feet. We were able to find a sand bar in one of the local creeks to use as a private beach that is typically 3-4 feet underwater. It was PERFECT!! Unfortunately..... no pictures!

Will you please stay up and get a good picture of the moonset. Last night (this morning) the moonset preceding this full moon was a bright red/orange and one of the more incredible moonsets I'd ever seen. It was at 5 a.m. today. I took a picture, but don't know if I can enlarge it enough to be worth looking at. Is there a way to set digital camera to stay open longer to get better picture of moon?

I saw it (I was on a 4 am airport run)- and it was gorgeous!! Big and orange and beautiful!

I would recommend getting up early tomorrow morning to see this one!

With the compact digital cams, it is tough, but with a bit of trial and error, and understanding of aperture settings, it is possible to get better pics using a digital SLR camera (the fancy cameras that looks like the pro's with the detachable lenses).

...you beat me!

I think I am in the mood to go howl tonight.

**Jennifer Steele** · 05-19-2008, 07:34 PM

Maybe that's why I've been so feisty today...I'm subconsciously howling at the moon!!!

Last night it was GORGEOUS! I was on the phone with my favorite sparkly person, and it had just rained. The moon broke through the clouds and was reflecting in the puddles--it was bright enough that my pecan trees were casting dark shadows. It was magical...

Seaside had a very nice moon tonight. The one on Howler's Ridge is nice as well.

They have 2 different moons?

Maybe Kurt wasn't talking about a moon in the sky.

Daddy Tim and I went to the beach last night and watched the sun set and the moon rise. Sunset wasn't that grayt, but the moon rise was beautiful...breaking out of the clouds. When we got home we decided to take a walk in the moonlight, it was sooo bright!!!
