This evening while waiting to get a photo of the full moon with Mars -- now currently in its closest opposition to Earth -- I was watching the eastern sky hoping that the storm clouds would pass and allow a good photo of Luna and the Red Planet from over the treetops.
I was a bit concerned that the clouds would obstruct the view, and unfortunately I didn't quite catch either the planet and the moon rising, I did manage to catch several beautiful shots of lightning in the summer storm clouds.
Eventually both the full moon and Mars did emerge from the eastern sky and this blogger was able to catch a good shot, along with an excellent close-up of the full moon. The July full moon is also known as the Buck Moon -- to signify the new antlers that emerge on deer buck's foreheads around this time -- and the Thunder Moon appropriate given the storms that preceded it this evening.
Well folks, I hope y'all enjoyed these photos. As always it is my pleasure to post them here for your enjoyment. Have a wonderful Dixie evening and always remember to keep looking to the night skies, y'all!
