Bad moon rising

The full moon last week was amazing. Both Tuesday and Wednesday nights, as the moon rose, it was so big, large, orange... It looked like it was just a hop, skip and a jump away. As it got higher in the evening, it became more silver.

Wednesday morning when I was driving to work and the moon was setting, it looked like transparent orange parchment paper hanging by the mountains. It was truly amazing. I wanted to take a picture- but speeding down the expressway, fishing the camera out of the purse, and trying to snap a picture is not the smartest thing to do, so I let it be.

Wednesday night when the moon was high and clear I tried to take a picture of it from my balcony. It was just so clear and bright and amazing. Every picture I took, no matter how still I was, turned out all blurry and the moon was just a big squiggle of light. Then the last picture I took turned out like this....

I mean, seriously. How can one make this up...at least one with no know-how in photo editing (I took photography in college- but that was good old fashioned B&W stuff in a darkroom, developing film and pics...not this new age fancy digital stuff).

The moon's rocking out with it's cock out!! For some reason I was expecting something larger.
