Big moon rising.
Thursday, October 8th, 2009(Still fiddling with a new camera.) The night of the Harvest Moon was too foggy to really see it. This was the next night.
It was bright orange as it came up over the horizon.
And got brighter and whiter as it rose, spreading sparkles over the water. You’ll notice that it’s not fully round — the top right edge is soft.

The names of the full moons are – - January — Full Wolf Moon; February — Full Snow Moon, March – Full Worm Moon; April – Full Pink Moon; May – Full Flower Moon; June – Full Strawberry Moon; July – Full Buck Moon; August – Full Sturgeon Moon; September -- Full Corn Moon; October – Full Harvest Moon; November – Full Beaver Moon; December – Full Cold Moon.
A Blue Moon is the second full moon in one month.
The names are a mix of the names both the Indians and the European settlers used. There’s a bit more info at The Farmers Almanac.
These pics were taken before the moon bombing, a very interesting project by NASA.
What’s in the sky, is on the water.

The sky often merges into the water, and you can’t tell where one stops and the other begins.
Drama in the skies.

The skies in Maine can be very dramatic. This was just a crazy cloud formation. What was going on up there?
But this was a giant storm cloud that moved quickly across the bay, pounding us with a swift douse of heavy rain.
Sunshine wasn’t far behind.
Gray is beautiful.

Some call it June gloom. If you’re in an area near a large body of water, you’ll often experience this soggy, gray shift from spring into summer.
Lucky Maine is just as beautiful in neutral tones, as in brilliant ones.
Especially when framed in silvery mist.
Spring, sunrise, sunset.

Colossal clouds, moonlight and silhouettes.
Monday, November 24th, 2008This time of year can be gorgeous, as the cold air rustles up big clouds and the light comes in from a much different angle.
The twilight of the year.

How to improve your vision — try out the new Image Deck.
Sunday, June 29th, 2008
Click here to try the new ‘Image Deck.’
The Image Deck will be a series of galleries containing images of Maine, related to the 2bnMaine web site. It’s not fully loaded yet — still working on it. But you can get a glimpse into how it will work.
The first page is a series of photos taken from one spot on the Western shore of Penobscot Bay which will be updated periodically. And currently, there are also more photos from the Stewart Garden Tulip Tour in Northeast Harbor.
This section uses a great new content management system called Inexhibit. It’s free and open source. Try it out!
Now you can now have 20/20 vision of Maine. Check back, much more in the works.
