Blue Moon

If you were lucky enough to be outside tonight and looked up into the sky you should have seen a beautiful Blue Moon. And if you were really lucky tonight you also went to the refrigerator and found another Blue Moon sitting right there on the shelf just waiting for you. Fortunately the two Blue Moons complement each other nicely.

For anyone who doesn't know what a blue moon is, it's what the old timers call the full moon when it's the second full moon in a single calendar month. It only occurs once every two or three years so it's not extremely rare but it doesn't happen every month either.

So when the old timers tell you that something only occurs "once in a blue moon" you'll now know what they're talking about.  

The photo you see here I took tonight sitting on my back deck. I was using my Nikon D7100 on a tripod, the zoom lens set at 300mm and an F stop set at 5.6. The image has been cropped to fill the frame and it was obviously color enhanced using iPhoto software. You don't really need to know that but some people are curious. I hope you enjoy the photo!

    I am an amateur photographer and I have been actively taking photographs most of my life. My primary camera is the Nikon D7100 with an 18-135 mm lens attached, but I'm also known to use other lenses as well as the camera on my iPhone 5.
