Moon Photo 12
This photo is a good illustration of my capacity this morning. The best time to catch the Moon in this phase is right in the heat of kid breakfast/getting-ready-for-school time, and I have been worrying about getting it for days. After a typically agonizing getting-dressed period, I ran outside to get the shot and, lo and behold, I had not charged my camera in weeks, and the battery was dead. So I left the tripod in place in the front yard, ran inside, and grabbed the charger and my portable camping battery. I prayed the camera would operate while plugged in, and thank God it did. The charging cable is too short to reach to the ground; I was holding the battery in my left hand when I got the shot.
