Known as "Crow Moon" or "Easter Moon"

Though Ken only occasionally takes a photo, and never writes the comments, he's my team mate 100%, helping me look for site locations and accompanying me on all shoots. He went to the 3rd floor balcony to photograph the view this afternoon & then returned with me to await the moon rise. Thinking we might encounter a security guard, we only found people there to clean offices, and I know where I'll return again in the future!

We watched the first glow as the moon began to ascend behind Saddleback Mountain, and captured the closeup on the mountain's rim against the orange moon. The wispy clouds made the closeups a bit distorted, and this, though dark, told best the view we had. Recently we shared photos of the region we call home, and I like to think this puts a pretty face on densely-populated Orange County California!
Wonderful photo, worth the time and effort

@deliad Thanks so much, Delia! I'm pleased with most of what I got tonight, and it was as though Ken and I had Front Row Seats to this beautiful event!

Very nice - the orange colour is quite apt for Orange County.
March 24th, 2016  
@nickspicsnz Never quite thought of it like that! I captured the colour the way it was; didn't play around with it. I read that this same moon, south of the equator, is your Harvest Moon!

Beautiful shot. The moon looks magical. Fav.

A lovely match for your county name Louise. Looks like a great vantage point for photography. Yep, Harvest Moon it is round here. My late father, who served in the RAAF during WW2 used to call it a Bombers' Moon as did many airmen (no women at that time).

@golftragic A fascinating addition to the list of names! It's certainly understandable! On the night of a full moon, I love standing out in the back yard before bed as it's almost other worldly!

Terrific moon shot! What a terrific vantage point! And as you'll see I just posted the moon that I call "my mum!"

good to hear you pulled the balcony caper off.
March 24th, 2016  
Good for Ken. Beautiful shot

@chard I knew you'd appreciate that ;)

@bkbinthecity I know how you two work as a team as well...and how much that's appreciated!

@thresheg Thanks, Graham...there's always pleasure on the effort!

"Orange" county indeed- & what a lovely shade!
March 24th, 2016  
Oh, this orange glowing capture is absolutely beautiful! Well done, Louise and Ken! :-) Fav!

@blackmutts so funny that I didn't make the connection that you a a couple other people made! Thanks for having a look!

@gaylewood I'll pass that message to Ken! He really was a super helper on this one! Thanks so much!

Great vantage point for this moonrise shot!

what a beautiful shot, love it totally :) fav
March 25th, 2016  
Wow, what a shot and a view!
March 25th, 2016  
This really does give a totally different feel to southern Cal and how I usually think of it -- highways and traffic. Beautiful shot.
March 25th, 2016  
Fav! Love this. And your fascinating story of how you both managed to do it. With 365 life is full of planning the next photo.
March 26th, 2016  
@gaylewood Ken will be most appreciative for his deserved recognition in capturing this one. No matter the result, we really worked on it together!

@kevin365 Even after all these years, Yes :) Not "in", but traveling the same path, we share the same songs, so to speak ♥
March 26th, 2016  
@gaylewood It's not too much to thank you several times over is it? (whoops...but that's ok ; }
March 26th, 2016  
@Weezilou Always wonderful to receive thanks . . . no limit as far as I'm concerned! :-)
March 26th, 2016  
Beautifully captured! Love that it's the Crow moon! Instant Fave!
