All I can say is that I was surrounded by a corn field and a dirt road... and I was hooting and hollering when I realized the shot I had just gotten.

There were four hawks circling above and I was shooting away. I did not know the moon was there until it peeked through the clouds. And it was gone just as quick. Wow. I;m always looking for new ways to shoot my moon... this one makes me smile. :)

***View large just because I think it's awesome! ;)

@lindagene You hit the magnifying glass on top of the picture. Try that to view large. Good luck. This shot is really worth viewing large because of the hint of the moon and beautiful sky.
