Photo Date with Sister Cindy

Sunday, Cindy call to see if I wanted to go with her to shoot the moon.

Heck Ya!   Photo dates with Sister Cindy are always fun.

She picked me up at 7 and we headed out to the After Bay in the valley,

thinking we would have a wide view of the mountains and open sky's.

Once there, the view wasn't quite as grand as imagined.  Plan B !

Took the road north, till we came to the dirt part of Nelson Ave.

Followed it east, to the top of the ridge, overlooking the  Fore Bay,

Table Mt and the dam.  This was a great spot.

Now, where to setup ?

Lucky for us, there had been a fire.  The fence had been cut for the dozer

to go through.   They even had a nice fire break graded, so we didn't 

have to stand in tall dry grass and a flat spot for our tripods.

Thanks CDF     California Department of Forestry 

After the right spot had been marked (a line in the dirt)

we retrieved our gear.  All setup and ready!

and then the moment we anticipated.

"THE SUPER MOON

The truth is the moon wasn't all that super and it didn't take long 

for other shiny things to catch our eye.

Fun night, time with Cindy is always great,

 we learned somethings and had a lot of laughs.

;D

PS...   See the little floating things in my photos?

They're not on my lens    :(((((
