I have been out and about taking photos enjoying what Spring is bringing me , lots of Spring birds singing in the mornings and evenings and feasting at my feeders , buds on trees and bushes getting bigger , lovely sun rises and the moon shining bright in the early mornings , the odd sun set as the clouds move in , flowers slowly poking up above ground , grass greening up and so on , oh it is wonderful . It isn't April yet but we are having showers , I know don't rush the months !
I was up at 5:30am this morning some one needed to go out for quick pee Miggs , I looked out the back door that faces west and saw the pretty moon shining ever so bright so ya know I had to take photos lol !
I am still practicing taking photos in the dark with out them ending up grainy cause of the lack of lighting out there ! All hand held to that's tricky . Thank goodness for Vibration reduction lenses lol !
Can you see the star/planet over to the right of moon yes that tiny speck of light , that is Venus !
Then later on in the morning as the sun was rising on the horizon in the east I looked out my kitchen window as I was making my second cup of tea and saw this out there and .. you guessed it I had to go out and take photos .
The sun had an orangey pinky purplish glow to it as you see here due to the air was damp and cold this morning and the contrails from the jets were also at a different temperature .
Dark clouds moved in and that gave the view an entire new look and more contrast !
I find getting up early can be a good thing as there are so many different and yet wonderful things to discover and photograph.

Nice moon and sky shots! Enjoy your Birthday, being so young!
Happy Birthday...don't you hate it being so dark in the morning. But the sunrise is always worth it. Have a great day!
In case I'm not online on Friday, Happy Birthday! Those contrails certainly add something to the morning sky!
Morning, wow, love that sky colour, so pretty as is the moon.Blessings Francine.
Happy Birthday and Happy Easter time!
I love taking pics of the moon. Mine are all hand held too. I have a hard time with the--too much light and the not enough light thing too. Yours pics are extremely lovely.

Happy Birthday for this Friday Elaine :) your photos are a pleasure to see. Getting up early for taking photos, I don't do that nearly as often as I should. Me, myself and I have become such good friends over the winter, but that excuse is not acceptable for spring ;). Thanks for stopping by. Your comment gave me a chuckle.
Beautiful photos! Hope that you have a wonderful birthday!!! Happy Birthday!!! xx
What beautiful photos, I can see why you grabbed your camera. We're still struggling with Spring here, we had a couple inches of snow yesterday. Things were looking up but that big Colorado low is on it's way, I'm sure you will be hit too. We finally have our Robins, I always wonder how they'll get their food when the snow comes. Stay safe.
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Elaine, I hope it will be a lovely, special day for you.
Love the pictures, nature is so amazing isn't it !
Hugs,
Jo
I have always been fascinated by the moon, and have always loved moon photographs. It is hard to capture its beauty...but you did an amazing job here :)
Great sunrise clouds.
I don't get why people hide their emails. It doesn't cause a flood of SPAM, folks. Honestly.
Happy birthday Elaine, you are so young at 50!! Hubby's birthday is on the last day of March, 69 for him.
It's a miserable day (Thursday) with snow, ice pellets, ice rain. We've been inside all day just watching the storm pass by. Looks like a nice weekend coming, got a small turkey to cook, so lots of delicious smells and tastes.
