Venus with the Seven Sisters
Some lights
My street tonight
24 June 1997
Didn't focus
Looking out after midnight
Making supper
Bournemouth Pier
Downtown, my town
That moon again
Newish moon over the neighbours' house
The view from my bathroom window a few minutes ago
Not all family shots are scowleries
Shaky but pretty
Waxing crescent
Lesson learnt. Maybe.
Above us, only sky
Full moon over pigeon spikes and roof
Mars presiding
Hallowe'en Moon
Warm night, long ago
Twenty-six percent illuminated
Moon by request
That moon tonight
High noise; blowy skies
Moon just showing through
I'm more the bah-humbug sort of person
Just past full, the moon over neighbours' yards
The neighbours' back gallery
Outside the front door this evening
Out the front door a few minutes ago

Moon over Shea Heights
If I had an unobstructed view of that hilltop from my door, I could use the autofocus function on my camera. But instead there are all those trees, and I have to focus as best I can manually. I find that hard to do when it is the moon I'm trying to focus on. But then, being in manual focus mode, I can more quickly take pictures. So it's all sixes, as the old fellows used to say.
The hilltop is between me and the official horizon, from which the moon had risen a good forty minutes earlier. The hill used to be known as The Brow, a name I like, but officially it is Shea Heights, named for a priest who -- fifty years ago -- operated the Catholic church in that neigbourhood. (The competing Anglican church's spire is just barely visible to the left of the moon.)
The media are calling this full moon (officially full in a couple more hours) a Supermoon because it is close to us, and a Pink Moon because in some climes the little flower known as pinks blooms in April month. Not in this clime. There is still a metre and a half of snow in my backyard. The garlic under that snow will have to wait to show its greenery, and if there were any pinks down there, they would have to wait, too.
