Almost full …

Alpenglow on Buffalo and the setting moon.
FRISCO —The weather hasn’t exactly been cooperating on the day of the full moon the last couple of months. I totally missed in January, and this month, it was obscured by welcome storm clouds. But finally, Thursday morning, I was able to catch a glimpse our lunar neighbor. Sure, it was a few days past full, but it’s always a dreamy sight. The first three shots were taken from along the Ptarmigan Trail above Silverthorne, a great place to watch the moon drop behind the Gore Range. To round out the set, I added a few moon shots from late autumn and early winter.

December’s full moon was a little more vivid.

Pretty sharp, considering that it’s a hand-held shot with an older Tamron 300 mm zoom.
