It was up in the afternoon, a gleaming crescent basking in the spring-like sunshine.
Semi-sprawling semi-crouching over the bonnet of a car got it aligned with the calliper branches of the tree above. It took several attempts to get the picture right. Then again in a different position, wedged between a phone junction box and a lamppost, to get it reaching to cup a bauble.
A beautiful day. Low gentle sun and blossom erupting everywhere. Someone (not me) threw away my bunch of tulips not realising their huge beauty and the beauty still to come. Luckily a neighbour had shared their own bunch of spring flowers by putting them out on the windowsill in front of a superbly reflective window.
Thank you for sharing them, whoever you are.
Oo, great job! Looks like a graphic rather than a photo, particularly the one in the middle.
Wow.
Ohhh. Beautiful.
Yes, I can imagine you trying to get the shots! You are probably on you tube somewhere with someone having decided your photographic attempts were interesting, if puzzling, material to record.
Great pics.
I have great difficulty trying to get shots of the moon, these are lovely and FUN!
Ohh and hi. Remember me?!
Gorgeous, gorgeous. 😉
Gordon! Of *course* I remember you 🙂
So glad you think the pics are interesting. I think I’m going to print off the top one, get it framed and give it to a friend as a birthday present. Maybe the cousin’s wedding present too.
Fan-bloody-tastic! That moon caught in the branches. Are you sure you didn’t do some photoshoppery sleight of hand to achieve this? Whatever, it’s beautiful.
Better and better. I like the Jack Daniels vase…
Love these.
totally brilliant!
Merci!
Photoshoppery? me?? Yes, the b&w one went through photoshop and had the colour removed etc but no, there’s no trickery, that really was the moon and those really were the branches.
On the other hand since deciding to print it much photoshoppery has had to be employed to rid the picture of noise to make it viable at A4 size.
