Love the contrast of the yellow moon against the deep blue sky!

Thanks, Ann. The sun’s warmth as it rises adds a lot of color to the setting moon.

As Ann already mentioned, that yellow-orange orb really stands out in an otherwise blue picture.

As we’ve often remarked to each other, “blue and yellow thrills a fellow”.

Wonderful scene, that moon says “pancake” to me, rather than worms.

Worms and pancakes don’t go well together…I’d rather the pancakes.

I love the golden glow on the moon. Nice capture and worth staying up late, Steve!

Thanks, Peter. It was the other end of the day so I was up early. 🙂 The golden glow helped make the morning a little warmer.

What an unusual view. I’ve sometimes seen a yellow/orange moon, but never combined with such a deep cobalt sky. The way you’ve positioned the moon behind some branches is good, I think. It helps to ‘tone down’ the moon a bit, making it seem a bit more — something. (But something good!)

While not quite as exciting as the Worm Moon shot the other day, I did enjoy watching this one set behind the trees. I try to find a little something extra for the picture than just the moon, although I do like capturing a nice big frame of one at times too. Blue hour is a fun time for this and the sun was just below the horizon and casting some nice warm light on the moon.

I had just recently heard this expression, worm moon, for the first time. How opportune to see your Beautiful photo of it today!

Thank you, Carol. Possibly you learned that it was a Native American name. I didn’t see any worms on this occasion but have seen some more recently.
