Sky Watch Friday

Spring sprung quickly in Florida last week and it appears the last of our cold weather is gone for the winter and summer will soon be upon us (spring lasts a few weeks and then the summer heat and sun settles in for the next 8 months).

A day at the beach on Saturday found not only a beautiful blue sky and blue ocean, but a nearly full moon hanging low on the horizon (click on the photo to see it full size for a better view of the moon):

Visit the Skywatch blog for all the hundreds of great shots each week.

Sky Watch Friday

Forecast: Clear, with a few small clouds and a nearly full moon.

Visit the Sky Watch Blog at http://skyley.blogspot.com for hundreds of great sky watching images.

As an aside I may not be able to visit many blogs or respond to any comments until Sunday - busy week and weekend! :)  (Partly taken up with a Flickr group photo walk in Fernandina on Saturday morning - join us - look for the group Jax Field Trips on Flickr for all the details.)

Sky Watch Friday

In keeping with Tom's post of the moon, albeit on a sign, I present the "real" moon as seen around 9:00 a.m. a few Saturdays ago here in palm tree laden Florida. :)

Sky Watch Friday

A nearly full moon (from Feb 16th) rising above majestic Southern pine trees.

Since this is our first official foray into Sky Watch Friday, a trio of photos from this evening near the river when the moon was full and low in the twighlight sky... oh for a giant, mack daddy lens and a tripod...
