Blue Shadows on the trail

Soft wind blowin through the trees above...

.

This moon picture triggered a memory of the Randy Newman song that was sung on The Three Amigos. I just can't get that song out of my head. And now, if I have my way, neither will you.

In this photograph, we don't have blue shadows on the trail, but on the moon itself. This was taken at about 8 PM while visiting my sister on Saturday. I was fiddling with the camera's settings, used a tripod and cable. The lens was my 300 mm plus a 2x teleconverter.

Most of the family was inside playing board games. For the most part, I don't care for board games. I stepped out front, to accompany my youngest son who was whittling. He said it was the Argo from Greek mythology.

.

Suddenly, I spotted a hawk in a tree, but by the time I got my camera, it took flight, carrying it's dinner and dropping something disgusting on our van's windshield.

.

Since the camera was already out, I snooped around for something to photograph, starting with a cardinal, but ending up with this picture of the moon. The moon is nice; it does not quickly fly away.
