I'm feeling a little under the weather so I'll be heading to bed early tonight. Before I go, I wanted to leave you with this picture I took last night of the moon playing hide-and-seek with the clouds. I hope y'all have a good night and a great tomorrow.

Thanks. I love taking pictures of the moon. When I was very young, I dreamed of being an Apollo astronaut.

@Happy2BeMe I always imagined I'd been one of the first people living on the moon.

I'm feeling better today, thanks. Maybe because it's Friday. I'm glad you like the photo.

I was very lucky to get this one. The clouds were moving rather fast.

@allknowing It took me about two dozen shots to get this and one other that I liked. Thank goodness for digital photography.

Beautiful picture! That would be a great setting for Halloween! I always love when there is a large halo around the full moon, which indicates either cold weather or storms are on the way. It's been a while since I've sing a ring around the moon, and unfortunately, I've never been able to capture one on camera. But it is pretty cool to see.

When I saw the moon peeking in and out of the clouds, I just had to grab my camera and tripod. I look forward to getting a longer lens so I can take more detailed shots.

@moffittjc The issue with camera phone zoom is it is not really increasing the magnification, it is digitally enlarging the picture and at a certain point it will pixelate, distorting the image. They'll have to overcome that before long lenses will become obsolete.

@DWDavis I have no idea what you just said to me, as all that tech talk is Greek to me! Haha Just kidding, I totally get what you're saying!

This is a beautiful photo. Whenever I try to capture the Moon looking glorious it always comes out a tad blurry!

If it weren't for the tripod, I'd never get a clear picture of the moon. It makes such a difference having that stable platform instead of my unsteady hands.

Sorry you're not feeling well, but wow, what a gorgeous picture! I was out and about last night, too, and it was lovely to see that night bright moon and enjoy the warmer temps.

A full moon and Friday the 13th together - a teacher's worst nightmare.
