Cold Moon Rising

When Danica was here on the 29th, we went out for a quick photoshoot just before supper. While I will likely post more about both of the kids and their sleepovers, I thought that today, I would post the Cold Moon Rising.

I didn't know that a full moon was upon us but happened to spot it through the trees when we stopped to take some other photos along the trail near the river. This caused me to find the path that leads to the river.

The moon was just beginning to rise over the far bank and looked pretty darn small in the camera. I decided to throw the camera way out of focus which made it seem big and close, and I like the result.

Knowing that every full moon has been given a name, I did a quick online search which revealed that this is referred to as The Cold Moon. Mind you, I don't think that the moon, or the man in it, really knows what its name is.

Danica followed me to the spot and also took a picture.

She then went onto the edge of the ice but not very far as it was thin and breaking. In this photo, she was photographing patterns in the ice.

Then it was home for supper followed by another walk to see and photograph the downtown holiday lights. But that can wait for another day.
