Did you Washingtonians see the
beautiful sunset last night? It was breath taking.
Miss. M and I were
oohing and aahing on our way home from debate club. I didn't have my camera with me and I was
kicking myself for it. The sun was setting behind the Olympic Mountains and the clouds were
flaming orange.
As we neared Case Inlet we saw the moon! We both screamed at the same time
,"Oh. My. Goodness! Look at the moon!" It was huge and orange. And the sky around it was
purple!
We quickly raced up the hill, Miss. M jumped out of the car, grabbed the camera, and we
raced back down the hill to take pictures.
In ten minutes time the sky had changed from a light
purpley gray to a
dark purple with a bright orange ring around the moon.
I couldn't
quite capture it though. If I could get the ring around the moon, I couldn't get the
craters. I stood in the cold for nearly 20 minuets.
It was the
most beautiful sky I have
ever seen and the picture it etched in my mind , I hope will never fade. Get out tonight folks and take it in!

We have been enjoying the way the moon is rising and the sun is setting this week. Awesome whatever direction you are facing. :)
Great photos and the memories will even be better.

Beautiful photos! Did you use a tripod? Or the top of the car?
