The Full Flower Moon of May

I've been asked if this is really a picture of the moon. Yes, indeedy, it is. I took it with my digital camera - hand-held - with an evergreen tree overlapping it for effect. It does look a tad surreal, doesn't it?

I took the rest of these photos the same night, using my flash for lighting and the night's dark background for contrast.




And yes, I do do something besides take photographs...here's a bit of a current project using that machine embroidered gauze from the other day (see May 9th entry). I spent another 2-3 hours machining the gauze to get it to this point!
