harvest moon

By the time I looked up and noticed the moon from the kitchen window, it had climbed well above the horizon. I took the camera outside to frustrate myself shooting it handheld at an eighth of a second, but the results weren't bad.

The view from just inside my back gate (the trees hid it completely from the deck.)

It's hard to tell the difference between the moon and the parking lot light below it here, so I zoomed in as far as the camera will go.

Pretty blurry, but it's clearly a moon.
