Fly me to the moon... by happypat

Fly me to the moon...

I love Frank Sinatra's singing so this title immediately came to mind when I saw this plane flying towards the moon.

Sorry you will have to look large, pretty invisible unless you do!!!

Another day with no cards done but a lovely visit from an old childhood friend.

Thank you for all the comments on yesterdays photo even though I did no commenting whatsoever!

Three good things:
1. I was called 'honey' today at the check out!
2. I have untangled the outside tree lights after that terrific wind last Thursday.
3. A lovely mild winter day.
Beautiful! The fine border is subtle but effective. You have given me an ear worm now. I'll be singing all evening.

Beautiful,Pat , the song is now going round & round in my head !! Funnily enough I pointed my camera at the moon last night-- just hand held, by the time I found & mounted the camera on the tripod --the moon was behind a cloud and nowhere to be seen !! I have not uploaded my moon shot yet !!

@beryl I did this quickly in the garden tonight but didn't have a tripod so am quite pleased with it really.

Good shot and accompanying words, Pat!! (It would depend, for me, WHO had called me honey at the checkout!!!!)

@quietpurplehaze A young foreign guy...could be Italian or similar...he was quite nice !!!

Fantastic shot of plane and moon. Learnt from @tishpics that the moon is new and increasing and when you can see the shadow of the other half it is said timid the new moon with the old moon in its arms. I am being called love and honey now, does that mean I am getting old?

@lucypics He he could be....you don't look it!! love the description of the different phased of the moon.

Fabulous, and I love how you've highlighted the hint of colour in the sky with the frame.

Oh that's cool! And I love that song - my old boss (Herman) sang it at a Christmas party at King's College once - fun times...

December 9th, 2013  
Ps Pat I am feeling a lot better now thank you for asking X
December 9th, 2013  
Great capture!
December 9th, 2013  
@happypat

That would have been OK then!!!!!!!!!
December 9th, 2013  
This is an unusual shot for you, Pat! It has come out very well in the darkness of the afternoon! I love that song too!
December 9th, 2013  
Beautiful shot Pat. Well done untangling lights......horrible job!
December 9th, 2013  
can't beat a nice bit of swing Pat.....we are going to a local concert this weekend.....my daughters former music teacher runs a swing band and they are playing locally....a shot worthy of your 365 Pat :)
December 9th, 2013  
This is divine Pat. The plane is a gorgeous added feature and your captioning is perfect
December 9th, 2013  
Wouldn't that be a fun trip
December 10th, 2013  
Sweet capture

Terrific capture! I haven't started the cards yet either. But Tuesday promises to be a snowy day--a good day to stay in, put on holiday music and get the cards done.
December 10th, 2013  
Brilliant capture and love the caption, very fitting. Beautiful viewed large.
December 10th, 2013  
FAV...so cool to get this shot! do you ever run out of things to write on your '3things'? I always love them and it really shows what a positive grateful person you are!
December 10th, 2013  
Certainly a great shot Pat. I am so envious of moon shots. iPad just does not extend that far!
Have had fun visiting a local street that has put up lights on over half the occupants. Looks amazing. Even got lights playing to music. The lengths people will go to!

Fabulous moon shot, Pat! And especially cool with that marvelous red vapor trail streaking across the sky in it's direction. Love this composition!
Being called 'honey', 'sweetie', 'darling' and other terms of endearment, is so common in the US south that I don't even notice anymore. :)
December 10th, 2013  
@peggysirk It's usually 'love' here in Lancashire but 'honey' is quite unusual & I have never heard that term used round here before.
December 10th, 2013  
Maybe the clerk had spent some time in the southern US. :)
December 10th, 2013  
Nicely done Pat, great night sky colours. I have always thought you are a honey ;-)
December 10th, 2013  
@seanoneill Ah you are a lovely flatterer!!
December 10th, 2013  
@happypat I try my best. I only speak the truth though!
December 10th, 2013  
Love the night colors! Well captured.
December 10th, 2013  
Ah . . love that song and all FS's songs too! Great capture - well done! I wouldn't mind 'honey' but 'my love' drives me mad - it seems just a bit patronising down here in Essex - although I loved being called 'love' when I was a student in Sheffield!
December 10th, 2013  
The moon's great at the moment isn't it - great capture of the plane with it
