silvered disk fills the eastern horizon-
sweeping away the falling stars –
moon rise
***
pewter and tarnished silver –
reflection in the calm cove-
moonshine
***
moonlight sparkles off the pride of the stag-
antlers gleam in the silvered light –
hunters moon
Well part of me was half-hoping that this would be about the other sort of moonshine. 🙂 But these are beautiful!

My Ozark friend writes wonderful poetry — Here is Moonshine posted on her eblog, The Course of Our Seasons! ENJOY
Thanks, Joanie – I am so happy you wanted to share this – you are a peach! K
Love the picture of antlers gleaming in the silvered light. Wonderful mood created all throughout the poem. Beautiful ending, Kathleen! … D
Thanks, Dee – so appreciate you! K
Was this tonight’s moon – I was so tempted to find a high spot and try to get a shot.
No, sorry – I think it was last winter. It is one of the few photos that I am pretty proud of! I want a better camera – just have a little point and shoot – but it can’t be too big or too heavy or have too many fiddley bits : ) K
LOL – It’s a great shot no matter what you used:) Are you thinking of more functional point and shoot or something with interchangeable lenses? My sister went with a simplified version of my camera – she has an Olympus Pen EPL-1 – very lightweight, very simple, very economical. It’s a super camera that she can master and continue to grow with. Not too many fiddley bits:)
I don’t know what I want really. But there are so many times that I could get a shot of birds or animals and they are too far away to get a good pic. Last fall we were coming into ES thru Berryville – we were just north of town – and saw at least 25 bald eagles. Tried to get pics – in fact they are way back in the blog archives – but the best I could do was – ‘see those white spots – those are eagles’ Would have loved to have good pics of that!
Sounds like you need a super-zoom – a point and shoot with long range. They have some that reach further than my bird lens. Some have as much as 40X optical zoom.
