The quarter moon (obviously the one the cow jumped over) seems to often get lost in the sliver of a moon or full moon photos, but I really liked this shot from the week-end of the moon just before it waxed into a quarter moon. Being one of those lunar (no, not loony) persons, I am drawn to the moon and impacted by its phase in ways that sometimes amaze me.
In the part of Oregon where I live, photos of the moon are not a given as so often clouds or fog make them a challenge or impossible. This week-end had the needed cold, clear nights.

WONDERFUL Picture, Rain....I too am a Monn Child and I know exactly what you are sayimng about the "phases" and the "effect"....It is so wonderful to get a GOOD Picture of the Moon, at any stage, isn't it?
WELL DONE, MY DEAR!
Too often the quarter moon is ignored, but you captured it's beauty very well.
That is a beautiful moon. Nice that the skies were so crisp and clear for you to get such a good shot.
It is a really nice crisp shot and so beautiful! Glad you could see it! I got a glimpse of the moon a couple of nights ago, but didn't have the camera handy and I've never taken one at night -- got to find out about that next.
Cool photo. We have had good air quality for good moon and star viewing lately too.
Beautiful!!!!!
I've been watching the moon when I walk Cookie. My camera just does not do moons well!
We are so much alike! I am drawn to the moon in all phases, but I noticed the sliver of a waxing crescent with the planet Venus just over it's tip, right after sunset. GORGEOUS. ANd I have not seen a full moon in months!! that pesky fog!
