BEYOND FIELDS OF LAVENDER

Best viewed large for detail.
The super Moon waning into day ten. Taken at 4:52 A.M. PDT on
5-15-2012. I took the picture of the moon through some lavender and grass. No special effects processing, just got down and focused on the moon through the flowers and grass.

PP thanks everyone!

@maggotx I keep waiting to see some moon shots from you.

I like how you have captured the moon at different intervals, I was mean too and haven't got around to it. Cheers

You mean real lavender and real grass? The moon has light on one side which is so soft and appealing!
