Moonshots in September 2022
I am part of a clan mother’s group that celebrates the full moon each month. On Friday and Saturday I made the effort to get outside and grab some shots of the glorious Lady Luna. The first three were taken Friday night, from both inside and outside, and the last three were taken Saturday night.
