Humbled

Well I’ve been humbled due to the minimal response I got from last week’s post. I’m bummed because I thought the images included in my Mt. Hood Sunrises post were the best images in my 3 part Sunrise series, but yet, I only garnered two “likes” from fellow WordPress users and the general public. Compare that to the phenomenal response I received from the first two parts in the three part series –  The Mt. St. Helens Sunrises & the Abstract Sunrises posts. I guess I need to do some more learning in regards to what you’ll like in a photography blog and what you don’t.

Well, I hope you enjoy this week’s post of Moon/Lunar images. These were taken throughout the year of 2012. We had a Blue Moon in August of that year and I rode my bike up to Rocky Butte on the Eastern edge of Portland, Oregon to captured some images.

It was a blue moon on Aug. 31, 2012. Just after it rose above the horizon several airplanes came out of the blue on final into PDX and appear to want to hijack the moon

It was quite the show in the early morning hours over the summer of 2012 as Jupiter and Venus rose above the horizon a little while after the morning crescent moon.

The Full Moon as it appeared rising over the horizon on May 7, 2012.

Also, in July 2012 we got to see Jupiter and Venus rise over the horizon soon after the morning crescent moon rose.

I hope you like these images. You can purchase prints by visiting my ViewBug profile.

And, as always, you can find me on Facebook.

Peace, and have a great weekend.
