Blue Moon

When I read the blue moon rises at 7:13pm, I decided on the spur of the moment that I needed to head out to "my" mountain - Superstition Mountain.  I grabbed the tripod, the camera and Sadie (and all the junk! that goes with traveling with a puppy! hahahah)  and off we went.

Cruising down the freeway, huge orange sunset glow in my rear view mirror and the Eagles singing "welcome to the Hotel California...."   The only thing that might have made the moment even better would have been an ice cold beer sitting in the console.  *grin*

I really like being out near my mountain. There's a peacefulness there that is hard to describe.  As the sun set, the insects began chirping louder.  There's a soft breeze, and of course, my own anticipation to see the moon rise over the mountains.  I stood in awe as it drifted up over the horizon.... and was jerked back to reality every time Sadie pulled on her leash.  lol   I have to admit, it was an experience taking her with me on a picture jaunt for the first time.

Now, its 8pm and I am sitting in my backyard, camera set up at the moon, and just lit the campfire, and yes, an ice cold beer!  Ahhhh, this is the life.   (More on the Fire Ceremony in my next post!)
