The waxing gibbous moon rises on 14 January.
We took our usual afternoon walk down through the woods into the river valley, following the moon, until we turned our backs on it to climb back up the hill toward home.

Moonrise
We're close to a full moon; I think it's officially full on Thursday. Yesterday I walked Callie in the afternoon just before sunset. We could see the nearly full moon rising in the east. Callie thinks the moon is like a hot-air balloon. She barks at it and tries to chase it through the vineyards.

Had to laugh at envisioning Callie chasing the moon. (Lunatic = ''barking' mad?) But very sweet, though, bless her.

ReplyDeleteWonderful panorama ! Perfect composition.
ReplyDeleteI hope it doesn't rain tonight so you can see the full moon. Beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteCallie is a unique animal! It's snowing in Alabama, but it won't amount to anything except a bit of excitement at the sight.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture - both the photo and the thought of Callie chasing the moon. It's not looking too good for tonight's moonrise... P.
ReplyDeleteA work of art (once again)!
ReplyDeleteSay, we have the same moon! Only ours got more trimmings.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is sooooo serene. Love it.
ReplyDeleteraybeard, you often see little signs where dogs live cautioning about a "chien lunatic," which means, I think, "unpredictable dog." It's manner changes with the moon.
