Lunacy.

Lunar Perigee cropped

The clouds finally parted and allowed me to take a photo of the moon last night.  I really wanted to see the moon rise, but the clouds just didn't get out of the way quickly enough.  Still, with the clear night sky and the cold air, the moon was crisp and bright. 

Beautiful.

I realized after I posted last night, that it was my 501st post.  I had all these plans to make a big deal about post #500, and I totally forgot.  So - I'll make a big deal today.

Woo Hoo - 502.

Look.  I even made a rhyme.

Five Hundred and Two posts ago, I really had no idea what this blogging business was all about.  I'd heard something about it on the Today show or something, and I had to go check it out.  Now?  I'm still not sure what it is all about, except that it has given me an outlet for a lot of pent up creative energy and a lot of wonderful people I've been privileged to know in some small way.

To all of you who stop by on a regular basis - it's been a pleasure to have you...I'm looking forward to seeing what the next year will bring - in your blogs and mine.  If you've just stopped by randomly - HI!  Good to have you.  Have a seat and hang out a minute - I'll grab you a drink and some popcorn.

And to all of those lovely 18 people who have clicked "Follow this blog" in the sidebar, or the untold millions 6 who have clicked on the subscribe button...

Thanks.  I feel pretty.

And I'm saving you the good tequila.

  1. I have my lime and salt ready--pass the good stuff! Congrats to you on over 500 posts!

    You got the moon pic--how cool. I was too sleepy to take a picture when I took the puppy out at midnight. Did you also see a huge ring around it? WOW--what a site!

  2. GREAT shot! I totally forgot to go look at it last night, despite my good intentions to catch the BIG event -- it was pretty doggone bright the night before, though.

    And congrats on the many many posts. 500? You go, girl!
    :-)

  4. Congratulations.

    I just realized I am at 402 posts. December 30th will mark the 4th year of my blog... and sometime this january will be 5 years of blogging completely.

    So weird. I didn't really start to figure it out until this March.

    Has it been an amazing journey for you, too?

  5. Congrats on your 502 post. I've only done 305 in almost a year. Probably by the time my anniversary comes around I'll have 365.

    Great moon shot, as I said yesterday. We had clouds last night so I couldn't try again for a better photo.

  7. 502 is a great accomplishment! Job well done!

    I love the moon shot. I did a lot of moon gazing while I was in Texas. One afternoon it was up at 4 pm as pale and as big as a silver dollar in the sky. It's been a spectacular full moon this month!

  9. Hello, Ive just dropped by randomly. First visit. Congrats on your 502 posts. I just made it to one year. I was a day late on that one too.

    I got some full moon photos last month. Its odd to think you were photographing 'my' moon on the other side of the world.
