Playing With the Moon

We had a full moon a couple of nights ago. I took the camera outside to try and see what I could get in the way of pictures. It was a lovely bright full moon as it rose --

There's a mesquite tree a few sites over from us. I wanted to get a picture of the moon framed by the tree, but I ended up with one just looking through the tree...

This is more what I had in mind. I kind of like this one, but I wanted a bit more of the tree actually on the moon --

For some reason, this one seems sort of creepy...

I'm using my Canon 1560 at its full 35x optical zoom. I suppose if I was truly serious about something like this, I'd set up Forry's tripod for stability instead of just bracing myself on Auntie Violet or Toad II.

We had a pretty quiet day today. Forry rode the trike over to the office to check for mail, but otherwise we spent most of the day inside reading and doing Sudoku.
