Sunday Stills Challenge - - The Moon



This week's Sunday Still Challenge which is all about reflections. was the moon in all her splendor. Or that's how I perceived it anyway. I never should have mentioned the fact that there was the possibility that the moon would not show itself this week here in my part of Washington. Mother Nature just couldn't resist co-operating with my prediction leaving me with one little chance to figure out how to photograph her glorious moon.

I probably should post the other pics I took trying to get to this one. They are littered with streaky lines of light as the camera jiggled.........not my normally quiet (what a laugh) self. These failures are definitely worth a laugh or two.

I guess I'm lucky I got even one picture to post. I never did figure out how to disarm my flash that was pretty darn sure it was needed for this project. But I think I'm getting "closer" to that portion of my camera manual. The problem I am having is I cannot read the symbols in that darn book. But in the search I did find how to change shutter speed.........I've been searching for that for weeks. LOL



Yesterday was a great day working horses. I'll post more about that later. In the meantime, I leave you with a pic of my daughter Lindsay and our new puppy. Isn't she sweet.

This puppy is one of the fourteen puppies Colleen's two Siberian Husky females had a while back. The puppy is 4 weeks old in this pic which was taken last Sunday (I know I should have posted it sooner, my bad).

Our puppy won't be coming to live with us until she is 9 weeks old. By then she will have gone through her complete worming regime and have her puppy shots finished. Then we won't have to worry about anymore of that kind of stuff until she is 6 months old.

  9. Good shot. Cute puppy and owner. We had a husky that I had to put down. It turned wild and started biting the hand that feeds it(me) We caught it killing a calf and had to lock it up. That was when it turned on me.

  13. The picture of Lindsey and the new puppy is just beautiful! Bet you can't wait to get him home with you all.

    I've tried the contact route several times but just can't get used to them so I stick with my glasses. Can't see a thing without them! Have worn glasses since I was 12 years old.

    Stop by and get a look at Buddy when he was young also a shot of my son about 9 at a quarter horse show. I found some old pictures while doing some cleaning this week. I had forgotten how dark Buddy was when we first got him.

    Hope your eye is feeling lots better soon!

  14. that moon picture is AWESOME. Looks like something at the beginning of a ghost movie!

    That puppy is the cutest fluffy thing! I just found pictures this weekend of our blue heeler and catahoula leopard as pups. Puppies are so adorable.
