Just been out to walk the dog and I was amazed at how bright and clear the Moon is tonight, it's worth going out to have a look. It is not so much the brightness ,though that is enough to show a strong 'Moon Shadow', but the clarity. You can see all details of the face of the Moon with the naked eye better than I can ever remember before. My son is a keen photographer and I have just bought him a 600mm mirror lens, he is going to put it on his camera and take a few photos and email them to me. I'll share them on here if they are any good.
I was chucked out of the supermarket for the first time in my life
and I thought of the primary skool adage - I dont have to look out of a window to know it is a full moon.
[ the dog was waiting for me outside - and upset the staff. when someone looks at a pedigree labrador and says : "I think it is a stray come in from the fields" you know it is gonna be a bad evening. I dunno what they did to the dog: it was glued to my side on the walk home ..... ]
Been a lovely sunny day here for a change douglas. Had a little run up to The Hermitage at Dunkeld, spot of breakfast and a trip into Perth to see The SiL.
