I was out of bed unusually early for me, and I spotted the moon, getting ready to set.

When I went outside to see it, I felt as you did: this is breathtaking! I lost no time getting this photo.

Beautiful shot, Peggy. As a previous poster mentioned, It has poured here in Phila. and so we missed this gorgeous sight.

BTW-The Full Moon in Scorpio reveals hidden secrets and truths. Hmmmmm...

I am sorry to hear about the rain; it can mess up so many plans! And photo opportunities as well.

This photo happened because I woke up way early!

Where I live it's been too cloudy to see the moon the past few days

I know how it is about clouds! They can really frustrate our efforts.

That was my reaction too, this morning, when I first saw it. I ran (well, almost!) for my camera!

Thanks for coming by and commenting. I happened to be up very early that morning and I saw the moon in the south-western sky, getting ready to set!

I hustled, got my gear together, and this was the happy result.
