Moonshine
last night's crescent moon with Venus by her side
August 16th, taken with my phone.
I got a closer shot with the zoom on the big camera, but haven't downloaded it yet, so this will do.
dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
That's good for a phone shot!
ReplyDeleteSteve Reed; thank you, I'm happy with it.
DeleteVery cool shot, River! Happy New Week with a great big side of boogie boogie.
ReplyDeleteThe Happy Whisk; thank you, I wish I could boogie, but I'm a bit stiff these days, it will have to be mental boogeying.
DeleteMental boogie boogie time is just as good and fun.
DeleteHonestly, your phone captured the mood perfectly! There’s absolutely no rush on that big camera shot; we’ll be here whenever you get around to downloading it. Thank you for sharing such a lovely, quiet moment to start the week!
ReplyDeleteMelody Jacob; thank you. I so rarely touch thebig camera these days so don't know when I will get around to downloading pictures.
DeleteIt's the content that matters, and this content is great. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBoud; thank you. I wouldn't even have known if "no-one" didn't tell me about it, so I rushed out in the cold.
DeleteNice shot! That kind of shot, when the round moon is visible despite the brilliance of the waning crescent moon, is poetically known as "the new moon in the old moon's arms."
ReplyDeleteDebra She Who Seeks; thank you, I did not know "the new moon in the old moon's arms" Have never heard that before and will tell "no-one".
DeleteWOW that is beautiful! Well done you with your phone!!
ReplyDeleteLinda Sue; thank you, I am quite surprised myself.
DeleteThat is so cool! I love it! You can't take an appreciation for moonshine out of an old science teacher!
ReplyDeleteVal; thank you, I knew you would like it.
DeleteThat's cool. I saw it, but did not think of a photo. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte; thank you, now you can just look at this photo instead of rushing out in the heat of the night.
DeleteVery pretty! We saw it on the way home from Ms. Diana's tonight, but I did not even bother to try to get it on my phone, it's always a disappointment.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I didn't know about it until daughter sent me her photo, then I went out and took my own.
DeleteWell done R.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; thank you.
DeleteOutstanding photography
ReplyDeleteRuby Rose and the Big Little Angels 3; thank you.
DeleteGreat shot - we just watched on TV, too much light pollution here...
ReplyDeleteIris; this is just a new moon, not the eclipse, that was only visible in the northern hemisphere.
DeleteAh, of course, either way... here we see nothing (but I must not complain, I wanted to live here).
DeleteDid you know in advance that the moon and Venus would be side by side in our night sky? Or was it random chance that you had your camera in your hand when you saw the event?
ReplyDeleteHels; I did not know until "no-one" told me so I rushed out with my phone and took the shot you see here, then went back out with the big camera and got a better shot.
DeleteThat is lovely - well spotted.
ReplyDeletejabblog; thank you, I rarely see the moon these days it is too cold out there.
DeleteWe had a partial eclipse in the UK last week (95%). It was best in Iceland and Spain but it was very noticeable here in the UK. Sadly, I didn't have any special filter glasses so I couldn't look at it and it can damage your photography equipment so I didn't photgraph it either. However, we definitely noticed the light diminish and with a colander we could actually see the moon drifting over the sun.
ReplyDelete:o)
Cheers

Plasman; I saw your eclipse on TV here in the 6pm news program. My shot is just a new moon.
DeleteThat is a great photograph.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you took it and shared it here :)
All the best Jan
