Moon in a blue sky above the red leaves of a tree at Lake Canterbury, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. November 5, 2011.

Last Saturday Betsy and I were out enjoying the autumn colors at Lake Canterbury here in the Glade when Betsy pointed out the moon in the blue afternoon sky. I managed to get this picture of the moon above some of the red leaves of a tree near the lake.
Moon over Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. November 5, 2011.
By the time we got home and I got my tripod out the sky was black, but I still managed to get this picture of the moon over Fairfield Glade.

Nice shots George – you guys are aces with your cameras

I love the beautiful deep red frame for the moon! And the last shot is very cool, the moon has lots of definition and contrast. Last night was a full moon, did you see it? I missed it, but it should be just as pretty tonight!

Such a marvelous captures, George! Love them both — the first shot with the wonderful colors and the almost other worldly shot of the moon! Terrific! Hope you have a great weekend!

Very pretty that first shot…what lovely lighting. The second shot is amazing. Wow! Well done George. Do you know that I still don’t have a tripod…LOL!

That is neat. I can never get the camera to focus. I guess one needs to do it manually.

The Moon looks magnificent by day AND night – but the detail in the 2nd shot against the dark sky is superb!

Lovely shots! Love the red of the leaves in the first one.

Good grief, George! First you take our Carolina blue skies. Now you’re taking our Carolina Moon? 🙂 Lovely photograph!

Haha! I just visited your other blog & commented on the moon pic – although I thought it looked vaguely familiar … now I know why!!!
