Once In A Blue Moon?

Hey Grandpa Bob! That's incredible! What a shot! I have never seen a real Blue Moon in my entire life! That is absolutely beautiful! What a sight that must have been! I didn't know that it had to do with cool air above warmer air and all that stuff! What a smart man you are GB and one heck of a photographer!

I don't recall seeing a blue moon. I really don't see the moon that often anymore. The blue moon picture is so pretty.

I have seen a blue moon, yes, Grandpa Bob, but although I study the Moon in all her phases, I've never known what caused it to be blue. Thank you for that information and for sharing your lovely pic. I would like, in return, to share one of my many pics of the Moon. This one I found particularly dramatic looking because of the cloud around it as it comes up over the local church. I'll pose you a question now... did you ever see a Blood Moon... as in total eclipse? There's no experience like it. The silver of the moon becomes gradually covered with a dark blue blanket, then goes dark and subsequently reappears a blood red. It stays that colour for a while, then turns orange through gold, back to silver. I wrote a poem about the eclipse I watched. It took hours, and I was freezing on that March night but there was something that held me there to watch it right through. I love the Moon and its magickal powers! Brightest Blessings Grandpa Bob.

You expect me to know what goes on early in the morning?!? Think again, Bob-o... But tell me... when is Fridfay?

No....I have seen a harvest moon....and an eclipse but not a blue moon....Very interesting!

the moon fascinates me anyway, and this is a very good pic. i live in england and the first night of our snow on sunday night/ early hours of monday morning, when i looked outside , it seemed just like daylight- every thing was so clear, reflected by the snow on all the houses, trees etc., it literally glowed outside. it was stunning and if i had thought about it i wished i had taken some pix and been able to share them with mylot. i must admit though i havent seen a blue moon, it always seems icy white. but a few years back we did have a red tinged moon, which was something to do with the atmosphere, it was quite well publicised in the uk. thanks for all your pix grandpa bob, they are always worth waiting for.

Thats great that you got that shot. I love the moon, big full moons are the best. Lots of people don't ever get to see the moon blue. That a "once in a blue moon shot".

this discussion of yours, grandpa bob, reminds me of that beautiful song of old 'blue moon'. until now, it is a favorite of mine. personally, i think i have never experienced seeing a blue moon literally yet. it must give one that very cool feeling seeing that bluish moon. it is what light blues generate in a person who gets to have a hold of such a color coming from nature. thanks for this beautiful discussion that you have come about, grandpa bob. it wakens some nice old memories.

I have seen a ring around the moon and I have seen a glow around the moon also. I love looking at the moon and and making up stories of what the man in the moon is doing.

Wow!!! The blue moon does look great....I think I have seen it this way.... Here is a shot my daughter took a couple years ago...

Hi Grandpa Bob! That is awesome! Very enchanting to see such a beautiful sight! I have seen orange tinge and brownish and grayish ones but not this cool blue. It is really so nice to behold such a sight. Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

That's a great picture! I've seen the moon look so many different ways. I love it when moisture in the air creates auras and different colors around and across the moon. I don't get out much at night anymore, but if any phenomenon would catch my eye at night it was the moon.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, What a lovely picture of a waxing moon, the colour round is just beautiful, at the moment we can't see the moon as it very cloudy and we ha snow as well, it was snowing earleir on but now it has stop, just a little layer of snow on the ground and its turnng very cold. Tamara

that is wonderful. that is once in a life time chance that you able to capture the beauty of the blue moon. we really does not know how it was formed but i guess that is one of the so called mystery of our nature. thanks for sharing that with us. i hope you able to capture that in video also, that you can share to the rest of your family and can be kept and be a legacy.

That sounds very pretty. I think I have seen something like that in Indiana. I did not see the moon last night or today though.

Hmmm, sounds very pretty, but I missed it if it was that color here. I will have to submit this response and to be able to see what you captured in your picture, but I'm sure it's a great pic as always.

Wow! That is really awesome! I didn't notice the moon having a blueish color the other night, but I'm not even sure if I went out to look at the moon that night!

hello grandpa bob i have heard of the old saying before "Once In A Blue Moon" lots of times before, in meaning that somebody would do something or something would happen once in a blue moon. lol and thanks so much for sharing that awesome looking photograph of the moon with all of us here at Mylot. i do not believe that i have ever seen the moon glowing with blue around it like that before. but i do have to say that i have seen the moon glowing with a white or yellowish color before. take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

I have never seen one to be honest, coz I live in a tropical country, so chances of this happening is nil. It looks lovely, I wish I could take a photo of a moon like that someday. Thanks for sharing.

hello, i haven't seen anything like that.......or even if i had....may be i didn't notice,,,:-)..................because i didn't know anything about such a phenomenon.......we kinda tend to notice, only those that we already know....:-) And yes, i have seen the picture you have uploaded ....its really beautiful.....thanks....:-)
