Moon rise, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. August 31, 2012.

This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world. To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.
Did you see the full moon last Friday night? It was the second full moon of the month, so it qualified as a blue moon.
I was beginning to think I would miss it, because the sky was very cloudy as the moon was coming up.

But sometimes patience has its rewards. As the moon got higher, the clouds started to disperse.

The breaks in the clouds kept getting larger, and I could see more and more of the moon.

I was finally able to get a fairly decent picture of the blue moon. We won’t have another one until 2015.

This has been a very hectic time for us with upcoming weddings, Dad’s birthday, and work on the house. Betsy and I need a break to recharge our batteries, so, as some of you have done, we’re taking a blogging break. We will be away from blogging until October 1. I hope all of you have a very happy and wonderful September.

Great photos. As a native Tennessean, I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never been in the Fairfield Glade area.

It was cloudy here, so I did not see Blue Moon. First time when I heard Elvis singing about Blue Moon, I had to find out what it is.
I enjoyed Your photos. Thank You.
Take Your break and recharge Your batteries.
