This is a 'waxing gibbous moon..

Sounds a bit like a polishing substance mixed with a monkey! However, that's what its called and I took this tonight at 8pm
Thankful for:
Another photo I had played around with to post but this is the real, unplayed with original!

I had to Google gibbous….I knew really but just checking that it was what I thought it was & to explain it with the right words!

This is awesome! I know how you used to struggle to get such fabulous shots of the moon

[Maggiemae]

@happypat I do that all the time, Pat - can never find the right words to describe something.

@grammyn I'm starting to remember the settings, Katy - without having to look them up all the time. Thank you!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. Strange name for this moon, as if it is a different moon than the one that appeared the day before. However it is lovely.

@sangwann Looking back on my moon photos, Dione - I seem to be posting one in the middle of each month. Last one was Feb. But anyway, the moon is always the same moon, thank goodness!

Just lovely! I think you could totally convince someone that it gets its name from monkeys who've made their way into space to polish it up for us. (o;

@olivetreeann From the latin meaning, "hump', Ann! More than half but not a full circle! Weird word!
