Saturday night - a new moon.

Rushed to get my tripod and get everything set up and .... the clouds came over and the moon vanished, but before it went.

Sorry GR, just caught up with this. Great shots really like the 2nd one, it looks quite dramatic. I though when I saw the first Pic Lai new moon scratch

, but I can see what you said about the clouds. The second shot I think looks really good as it highlights the moons shape

It does WS - looks quite ghostly, but sadly it went too quickly!

I need a bigger lens for moon shots then you can see the craters which could be fun.

Sorry GR I missed your cloud pics too......i'm not running round the forum that quickly obviously......must be eating too many yummy Mince Pies lol!

I love those cloud formations, clouds always fascinate me and I love to see them blowing over the sky, the first pic is my favourite one cheers

Great Moon shots Lai, the second one looks as if the moon is on fire. I know what you mean about the craters. I must get my Bro-in-Law to send me his pic I mentioned before, he has a lense that makes you feel you are sitting on the moon and one pic he has is fabulous, even if I do say so myself, I will try and get him to send it to me this week.

Nice snaps Lai Thingys In The Sky - Page 3 768480

I especially agree with WS about your second photograph.

**Laikipia** Tue Dec 18, 2012 9:44 am

We're relying on you for the sunny daytime shots GR - all we've got today is rain, clouds and more drizzle ............ don't you love the UK when it's like this Rolling Eyes

Really foggy here at the moment too. I love the Winter days with a crispness in the air a clear blue sky but the sun still shining.

Loving the photos, keep them coming.

GR - blue sky and sunshine, lovely, and I love the cloud formation in the second photo, I love the moon photo, it's the reverse way round, then I realised you are down in the southern hemisphere Thingys In The Sky - Page 3 615959

Cloud formations are really beautiful on occasions. I took that picture in the middle of the day - took Bella for a short walk during lunchtime - but later on the drive home the clouds looked even more dreamy and comforting. Like fluffy pillows :)

I want to get one of a rainbow, though it is quite rare to see them, and then I'd need my camera on me.

**Laikipia** Fri Dec 21, 2012 12:30 pm

a camera would be handy GR Thingys In The Sky - Page 3 40683

I took one on my mobile in the woods the other day but very poor and didn't do the rainbow any justice. Unlikely to see a rainbow for some time now as it's rain, rain, rain and ................. more rain.

That's so true fluffy pillows or marshmallows!

**littlewid** Fri Dec 21, 2012 6:23 pm

Fluffy Pillows, Marshmallows, Cotton Wool Balls, you just have to love cloud formations and that second picture is a cracker GR Thingys In The Sky - Page 3 768480

How lovely it must be to be able to sit on a cloud and float in the sky.....if only eh Very Happy

The sun in the first picture it's so bright isn't it, it's dazzling and I love the moon shot cheers

Hey Lai (I like that I can rhyme your name with hey and yay Very Happy

), how's this for a leopard in Tree

spot? At this precise moment, you are sitting on 11,111 posts!

So I guess that means you're number one Laughing

"How lovely it must be to be able to sit on a cloud and float in the sky.....if only eh"

Absolutely! I even wrote a story about such a thingy Very Happy

**whitestarling** Fri Dec 21, 2012 10:31 pm

Great shots GR love the cloud ones. Rainbows are difficult, we get lots here with the weather we have. I'll try to get one the problem is as you say is having your camera with you Thingys In The Sky - Page 3 40683

"Good spot GR" - yeah Lai, that's why I like to think of myself as a leopard...and as a giraffe, as we all know Laughing

You will forever be the queen

ing!

Story is on the way soonish, but not the cloudy one (maybe in the future though Very Happy

). I have another one on the menu.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it, but let's just say that son is going to try to outdo father (or grandfather Laughing

) in the story telling stakes Very Happy

It will be bought to the WAA down a chimney...

**Laikipia** Sat Dec 22, 2012 10:40 am

GR good answer!

Looking forward to the story - and if I'm away when you post it you'll have to remind me when I'm back - that means no pressure to post before 27th !!!!!

Lai lol!
