7am Moon by graemestevens

7am Moon

I had no intention of photographing the full moon last night because I was quite possibly too inebriated to be trusted with a camera. Instead I took my shot at 7am from the privacy of my garden. I was in pyjamas at the time. Not a particularly inspiring shot, but them's the brakes.
I went out to look and there was nothing to see but cloud cover - this morning at 7am - well my eyes were closed hahahaha
I think this is a beautiful image - the shades of purple are delicious

@annied My eyes were barely open but I had to take a chance - thank you very much :)

Who needs inspiring when there is calm still beauty?
June 14th, 2014  
@newbank you raise a valid point...maybe I was still drunk...
June 14th, 2014  
Beautiful image, I too had thoughts of getting up early but it was raining.
June 14th, 2014  
Wow, what a magical sky, ours was grey , a very rare occurrence in my neck of the woods, and this wet stuff appeared, in fact my rain gauge finally worked. Love the moon :-)

It's so pretty :) Are you pretty in your pyjamas at 7am?
June 14th, 2014  
Lovely shot Graeme. I am usually for at least 2 hours by 7am
June 14th, 2014  
A cracking shot, Graeme. Love the silhouettes of the trees against that warm, colourful sky.I have to say that I'm impressed you were inebriated last night and still managed to get up at 7:00am, then straight outside in your jimjams with camera in hand...brilliant lol!!

@wanabe No rain for us today, beautiful day after 4 days if wind and rain, thanks very much
@hermann thanks very much - your rain gauge would have worked over time here last week!
@spanner thanks very much
@carlt thank you, appreciated
@julzmaioro thanks - every now and then I'm in a "delicate" mood ;)
@gigiflower Thanks, and Oh good god no - at 7am and in my pyjamas I'm as far from pretty as Henry VIII is from being alive.
@terryliv thanks very much :)
@davie Thank you very much...we have two greyhounds so the option of staying in bed on any given day is nonexistent!

The sky is very pretty, I was looking at the moon tonight contemplating taking a picture of it, but had to speed home. Lovely.

What a stunning photo - love the colours of sky and the silhouette! You did good! :)

@jess1204 thanks very much, it was a very peaceful morning once we got past the smell of alcohol...
@lynnilou thank you very much, appreciated as always :)

Floats my boat Graeme - so much nicer than a big pale disc against a black background.
June 14th, 2014  
@andrewkru thanks very much
@ukandie1 thank you, appreciated
@firefly8642 thanks to Mother Nature ;)
@wearing0 thank you, appreciated
@vignouse thanks very much - I'm not to sure about being called "a big pale disc against a black background" but it's not the worst name I've been called ;)

I'm impressed with your dedication to rise so early! It was certainly worth it though, the colours are wonderful.
June 14th, 2014  
This is beautiful - love the silhouetted trees and the sky is gorgeous
June 14th, 2014  
It's is a very calming shot...like the faint pinkish swirls like beams around the moon.
June 14th, 2014  
Beautiful scene... love the colours! Fav
June 14th, 2014  
@dibzgreasley I think it was foolishness rather than dedication, but thanks all the same!
@rachelwithey thanks - there a natural bush area just over the road from home, so it made for the perfect silhouette
@livvy thanks very much - the person who took it is not often calm...
@gazbadger thanks very much indeed :)
June 14th, 2014  
lovely - just lovely (and this makes me think perhaps I should be more willing to try taking shots in the early am versus the midnight witching hour when I am.....ahem......happy with wine.....)
June 15th, 2014  
@deak68 Nothing wrong with being happy with wine...it's certainly my favourite time of the day
June 15th, 2014  
Wonderful shot of the moon love the sky very pretty
June 15th, 2014  
@tracelee Thanks very much
June 15th, 2014  
Great shot Graeme. Does it still count if you howl at the morning full moon?
June 15th, 2014  
Beautiful shot
June 15th, 2014  
@golftragic Thanks, I have no time to howl at the moon, I'm too busy hunting down prey!
@kerristephens thank you very much
June 15th, 2014  
Great shot, lovely colouring - hope you had your slippers on too….. Do you have close neighbours??
June 15th, 2014  
@dide thanks very much - we have a very private yard, so they generally only notice me when I'm setting things on fire
June 15th, 2014  
@graemestevens Fair enough!
June 16th, 2014  
Love the color of the sky and moon!
June 17th, 2014  
@harbie Thanks to Mother Nature for this one I'm afraid ;)
