I wasn’t expecting to see the blue moon
At about half-past three in the afternoon.
But there it was – gracing the winter sunset;
Rising like a balloon
And being released into the sky by the trees.

What a wonderful blue moon here, held lovingly in the sky by bare branches! Lovely pastel colours in the sky.

Good pictures of the moon, but I forgot to look outside! Actually my son came to get me and took me to his house for dinner, so that was far more important than looking up into the sky. But even so, I wish I had remembered.

A fantastic blue moon that I have not been able to see. The sky was cloudy. What a pity … but I find the solution in your extraordinary photos.

What an amazing surprise!! I’ve seen a few early morning moons (just after first light) and they always seem like magic — but such an early afternoon one … especially since it was a blue moon — is really special!!!

OMG Fiona, these pictures literally took my breath away! You captured exactly why I love winter so much. To me, there is something so exquisitely beautiful about barren trees, laced with snow, the Gothic sky, and the early moon.
That final shot is GLORIOUSLY SPECTACULAR!
Thanks so much for sharing the beauty that surrounds you, my friend!
Have a lovely weekend!

Whats life without surprises. Lunar or otherwise. Here, and am not sure about your neck of the woods, it was a lunar trifecta -blue moon, blood moon and lunar eclipse at 6:45 am. Sadly in my backyard the cloud base was low and thick. So it is vicarious moon shots for me, Your words make for terrific lore -balloon or offering from the forest to the spirit of the stars.

This was the blood moon rising the day before the eclipse. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy and snowy here to see the eclipse (or a blood moon).

Oh, the excitement of the moon’s unexpected appearance. Truly spectacular.
On the other hand, down under we watched and waited expectantly, only to see the clouds gradually cover the horizon minutes before moonrise. 3 days later the sky still hasn’t cleared but we have rejoiced in the arrival of rain and cooler temperatures.
