Golden hour blue grey and velvet black

29 09 2023

Two nights ago, the sun was setting as the moon rose, so the horses were in shade as our planet’s satellite rose over Spring Creek Basin’s eastern horizon (Temple Butte and McKenna Peak are just out of frame to the right).

Just possibly, though, in the above pic, it’s the GRASS that steals the show. That’s galleta and grama Temple appears to be wading through. Only the best for our wild ones!

Last night, the full September harvest supermoon rose over Spring Creek Basin’s eastern horizon after sunset.

Lotsa practice the last few nights. 🙂 Hope you all enjoyed the last supermoon of the year, wherever your place on Earth!

Beautiful, TJ! Yhat was a spectacular harvest moon last night but it’s even better in Spring reek Basin. Thanks for capturing it for us!

Wowza, right? I didn’t catch it soon enough to get the really amazing golden color and super detail (even without camera or binocs), but wow!

Beautiful! It was cloudy here in lower MI. Could not see the moon!

Oh, major bummer! I’m not one to disparage clouds (we’ve had full, superblue skies for days and days again), but I do love seeing that huge golden ball rise into the night sky, and I wish you could have seen it, too!

I wish photos did the moon and the horses and the landscape better justice. The awe of that celestial body rising never fails to give me goosebumps!
