I’ve often tried (usually without much success) to get a good photograph of the moon. While I feel very inadequate at night-time photography, I do better when the moon makes an appearance during the day. I got this picture of the moon over our house a few years ago. I think the cloud which looks as if it is about to swallow the moon adds an interesting element to the photo.

Years ago, when Betsy and I could still hike we would often go to Black Mountain, near Crab Orchard, Tennessee, to hike the Black Mountain trail, a loop around the mountaintop . One of the highlights of the hike was the Black Mountain Trail Overlook, which offers a spectacular view t the east. Below the mountain we can make out Little Cove and some of the farms in that area. On the horizon we can make out the Smoky Mountains on the horizon. It was always a pleasure to stop there and take in the view.
