At 5.46pm the moon rose over the ocean straight out from our beach.
I love a full moon, but having a boring straight horizon as the only point of interest makes for a boring moon rise photo.
If it was rising at the end of an interesting pier, or above a magnificent tree, over the mast of a yacht or between some buildings in an interesting cityscape, then you could see scale.
On a flat boring horizon, you can't even tell how big and amazing the moon is.
I struggled to get my camera settings right tonight.
There was a lot of smoke haze just sitting on the horizon, so the moon appeared and then disappeared for a little while behind the haze.
I had a lovely Skype call with Chicklet and Vegan Chickie today. Chicklet had some new toys to show me.
She had a couple of dinosaurs (she would correct me if she heard me say that .. she knows their correct names and I have to use them!) and she had an anemone.
I got SEB out of the bird cage and brought him to the computer screen to show her, which she thought was cool, but her favourite thing of all, was a little plastic Snoopy doll that I got from the markets for $1 last week.
She had a lovely conversation with Snoopy and even showed him her new toys!
He is now packed into the suitcase ready to come on a train trip with me next week.
Today, I'm grateful for a beautifully clear and cool evening down on the beach to watch the moon rise. It was very peaceful down there tonight.
Nite all.

Beautiful photos of the full moon Roz. I like the light reflected on the water.
