What Time Is It? How About Island Time?

Moonrise the night before the “official” full moon.

As if we haven’t been traveling enough, Kathy & I decided to head for Hilton Head Island, SC to (hopefully) escape some of the election shenanigans.  Here at the beach we don’t care about a whole lot other than having enough to eat and drink.  Oh, and maybe taking a few pictures. 😉

We arrived Friday afternoon to crystal clear skies, awoke to same on Saturday morning but unfortunately are dealing with gale-force winds and a dense cloud layer Saturday evening.  So, no “full” moon for us.  Fortunately I caught the moon in it’s “pre-full” stage on Friday.  And to my way of thinking, since the full moon occurred this morning at 10:30, my “almost-full” moon is “as full” as the moon coming up this evening.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! 🙂

  1. I’ll accept your story. One heck of an image for the moon. Love the contrast between the first and last image. You must have a really good camera to get those images!

    1. Nice to know that you’re in my corner, Monte! 😉

      Actually, the last image in the post is the first of the four that I took, and the first one is the last one of the group, but the best, in my opinion.

      I decided to make the one with the “sunburst” because at that point there was no way I was going to get detail in the moon without losing the light on the clouds.
