Pink and Orange

Yesterday just after sunset there was a wonderful orange pink cloud. Here we could only see parts of it. I did manage to get a nice photo behind some palms.

 

Moon and Trees

The evening after the super moon decided to take a different view of the almost full moon. I set up and watched the moon rise behind trees. I again used my Olympus E 3 with the Sigma 50-500mm zoom lens. The lens set to 500mm. I focused on the trees of course. This made the moon blurry for a nice effect. I seldom use the big lens but for stuff like this it is fun to have.

Yucca

The yucca is the Mojave Yucca that grows in the American south west. Back in 06 we bought a bucket with three small plants and put them in the ground. They seemed to grow slowly and without our really noticing it they finally got big and multiplied. Last year some bloomed. This year we have seen several blooms.

 

 

Super Moon

Set up my 50-500 Sigma lens on the tripod and attached my camera ready for the moon rise. I got some nice shots. This year there seems to be a smoky haze east of here that may be from the fires. That may have been why the moon is has a golden cast to it...and it came up near sunset too.

Amaryllis

My amaryllis only had two stalks bloom this year. I need to repot the bulbs.
