This Week's Moon Pictures

Earlier this week my son and I went out to get some pictures of the rising moon. I really enjoy these little photography outings with Jackson. We were able to catch the moon coming up right over Zion National Park:


The more the sun went down, the brighter the moon lit up:

After that, we drove back toward home to catch the moon above Smith Mesa. Jackson saw this great shot which ended up being my favorite picture of the night:

And then one last picture before the light left the mountain:

After we got home we looked through the pictures. Jackson really wanted me to send one in to the news so I chose my favorite. Funny enough, that picture showed up a few times on the news the next night. We were a little giddy when meteorologist Kevin Eubank called it an "absolutely spectacular picture". I'm thinking I need to take the kids on photo trips more often.

  1. First of all, what a great outing with your son! That's cool.

    Secondly, great shots as usual, and I think it's really cool that it got featured on tv! You're even more famous now!
