That's a whole lot of going on isn't it!
So I thought I would make it easy on myself and just share some of the photos I took of the sky last night. The moon was nearly full, sadly it wasn't blue, but the sky was, and the clouds were yellow, so I thought that was pretty appropriate for this weekend.
Yes you spotted that I have given these photos a bit of the Pic Monkey treatment! Especially this one. Maybe a bit over the top but I must say I like it! |
It was such a beautiful evening that I wanted to share it with you.
Have a wonderful weekend whatever you are planning.
And all you fathers out there, have a great Father's Day on Sunday.
Please please let me know if your moon is BLUE!!
And what'll you be doing on Wattle Day?? It's a special day for all Australians. This book by Maria Hitchcock called a Celebration of Wattle Day, looks interesting.
How about cooking this Wattleseed Gnocchi which of course has potatoes in it,
from bareingredients, the foodie site for foodie lovers.
They include a wild mushroom sauce in the recipe and it all looks quite delicious!
Some lovely atmospheric photos there, they'd be good for a Halloween post too! According to the weather forecast our moon is going to be well hidden by clouds.
ReplyDeleteGee that's a shame John. We certainly could do with some rain clouds here. I think the moon here will be shining bright, but maybe not blue:) Cheers Jane
DeleteLovely photos of the moon - it was beautiful last night here but as John says the forecast is for cloud tonight. I shall look for the moon anyway:) Wattle Day is new to me but I like the idea behind it.
ReplyDeleteYes, I hope the links give you a good feel for Wattle Day Rowan. It is the first day of Spring too. Bye for now Jane
ReplyDeleteJane, these photos are amazing! I don't know what Pic Monkey is, but I have been hearing about it. You certainly seem to have a fantastic handle on it. You have created magic in these photographs.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing, Connie :)
Hi Connie, lovely to see you again! Pic monkey is an online photo editor which is simple to use (yes even me!). Take a look, you might get addicted too! Have a great weekend. I bet Granddad Steve will be enjoying a spoilt Father's Day!
DeleteNice photos Jane.....the full moon does send me into a heightened sense of being but not quite a "lunatic"....I was going to take some wattle blossoms into work but the lack of rain and high temps have made them rather sad looking...they were much better a few weeks ago, ringing the house yard with yellow.

Hi bb, your house yard must have been lovely. Hope those steers of yours stay home and enjoy the wattle:)
DeleteIt was a beautiful evening in our part of the world to, would be lovely if blue moons were blue. The wattles are incredible this year, everything is coated in a mist of yellow from their abundant flowers. I love Wattle Day and it's history, twas a day in the garden for us.
ReplyDeleteHi Kirsty, so lovely to read your comments, and so glad you had a day in the garden on Wattle Day. You paint a beautiful picture of the wattle "mist". I bet it must be difficult for hay fever sufferers though!
