Going for Apples

Took a small trip today to a place called The Apple Store to get apples. It one of those country market setting with a corn maze, petting zoo for the kids as well as all the fall goodies. But......NO APPLES. They will be in next week.

September Fog

Morning Fog

I looked out to the east and saw a slight haze across the ground. The brightness of the sun was minimal but within minutes the haze had become ground fog and the sun was starting cast shadows.

Mid-September Shot

Two more months and 4 more shots will end my twice a month look at the sun coming up. This shot almost looks more like a sunset in some ways with the colors as they are. The sun has moved quit a few degrees south of were it was just a month ago. Amazing how it doesn't show and then all of a sudden you notice it. Interesting feature here is the heaviness of the clouds. Real thin areas are light blue and the dark areas look more ominous like storm clouds. As it turned out this day became very windy and quite chilly. We helped neighbors with a garage sale and were very cold. Temps were in the low to mid 60's but should be more like the 70's. Trees appear to be early this year, normally the changing doesn't take place until late Sept. to the early part of October.

Waves

Double Moon

I don't really like taking a picture of anything and then immediately taking the same subject and posting it again in a short time but I could resist this moon shot. What got me was how different it was from last evenings. The first was taken from my deck and this one from the window that I take my, soon to be over, monthly shots from. Another one is due in a couple of days. I shot it on ISO 1600 thus picking up some graininess. The double moon is caused by the thermopane window. A prism if you will. The actual moon is the brighter one and if you notice you can actually see the terrain in the upper moon. I presume this is caused by the lack of brightness. Moon shots are really difficult to take without a huge lens. My lens is the Tamron 18-270mm VC DiII.

So, now I promise myself that I won't take another moon shot until.....the October Harvest Moon.

Almost To Late

I forgot about the September Harvest Moon and then again last night I forgot again. I wanted to get it coming up over the horizon. Wouldn't have this picture had it not been for my wife.

Yea!
