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.

    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!

    Nice shots! So cool that you were able to share that with your son, and then have it featured on the news.
