Last Night’s Moon

On our final dog walk yesterday, I watched the moon come out from behind the clouds. I took two pictures with my cell phone, steadying it on a mailbox while holding Charlie's leash in the other hand. Realizing it was too dark, I tried to change the mode, but Charlie was out of patience and pulled me along. I'm afraid I left a footprint in the mud next to the curb.


Both pictures came out pixelated. Still, I like the mysterious look of the sky.


I made an attempt at improving the second shot using a filter, but it wasn’t a success. Then I noticed that my app was trying to identify a “bird.” Oh, good grief! That’s the moon, Siri, not a snowy owl!

  1. ...I gave up photographing the moon a long time ago.

  3. Good job just catching the moon with mailbox prop...I tried getting my zoom on my old camera to work, and I think it's past help, just sits there with me pressing the button and does nothing. Won't even take a photo with the shutter button half the time. Back to the iPhone camera, where my moon shots are all over the place!

  4. I like those pictures, even if they have technical issues. Moody, mysterious, and the app ID's are a riot. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  5. Dear Linda, the resemblance to a snowy owl is truly astonishing 😂 Siri always surprises us with her "knowledge" 🤣...
    Despite the pixelation, I also find your photos beautifully mysterious...
    All the best from Austria, Traude
