The moon is bright over Ohio and Michigan, but alas, it rains in Florida! For the sky watchers!

Oh Mrs D! You're kind. I wasn't going to post them till I decorated them a little but 58 pushed me into it. lol!! My camera locked up; I wanted to do a nice little series that would show it rising, but alas the battery crashed. So of course by the time it recharged I had a full lit sky with a moon way overhead:) Thanks for stopping in and your kind words.☺

Oh I think I would have liked to change the coloring more. And I so want sequential shots, but I'll get another chance, I hope. Thanks 58.

Anna goes to the local Fire Department. Lots of big boots there. Eyeing each pair individually, she studies the print that each is capable of leaving. Slowly Anna eyes rise to the Giant Red Fire Truck. Her tongue presses into her cheek and her head starts to slowly nod. She wanders over to the Fire Chief and they share low words. Slowly the Chief climbs upon the truck and reaches to grab Anna's hand. He pulls her to the top of the truck and shows her the gear that will unwind the toy that Anna has spotted. Then, very slowly but quite deliberately Anna picks up the huge hose. There is a large surging sound and PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST; SWOOSH; Anna aims at 58 and down he goes across the Station floor! Anna's aim is purposeful and she squirts 58 out the door. Quickly the bouncy Dalmatian runs and pulls a leather strap connected to the door and down the door comes!! The Chief snaps the crank and the water sputters to a halt. Anna briskly wipes hands in satisfaction!

Thanks Lebowsky. You're the one guy that would have known what he was looking at last night and you couldn't see it! Hope you can on the 9th for sure.

I've done that a few times Dubbya and always feel good about it too. Words mean more to me really than pictures and I enjoy teaming them up.

Thank you for visiting:)

Beautiful shots; I enjoyed moon gazing last night in New York - maybe we were gazing at the same time! Who knew? I did not bay, but considered it.

I am hoping we can have the same clarity for the 29th sunrise/sunset challenge. We are supposed to have snow here :(
