There's a Silver Dollar Moon on my Barn Tonight
Well, after another long, uneventful, grinding day of supervising 65 people who still need to be reminded of the exact same things that I have reminded them to do for the last 10 years, I finally made the one hour plus drive home tonight.
When I neared the Jbcoin Farm, I noticed the moon was very round and only a very small sliver was bright at the edge.
Smarter "moonpeople" than me probably know exactly what this is called....but I like THAT moon the best, especially in the winter time, when the skies seem more clear.
The moon looks like a big marble in the sky, or a weird planet. Only bright at the very edge, especially early in the evening, before full dark.
I never have much success in photographing the moon on my phone, but that didn't stop me from trying (again).
I was actually kind of happy with these shots. The moon is much brighter in my photos, than in real life, but it sort of just looks like an orb or a silver dollar sitting on the edge of my barn!
Thanks for viewing. I don't think that I'm quite ready to quit my day job just yet, but thought that I would share it! I have always been fascinated by the moon, especially in the winter months.
Someday I would like to get myself some nice equipment to take better shots of the moon and maybe try some open exposure? shots of meteor showers, and lightning. Those photos are really interesting to me!
Then, for no apparent reason, about an hour later my phone decided to turn some of the black and white shots into an animation file on its own! What?
Please upvote, Resteem, and follow! Thanks!
I love it, seems like the moon just decided to sit on the edge of the barn for a rest. And your phone making an animation out of the pictures is hilarious - I wish mine did that!

Thanks @c0ff33a! It was pretty neat. I think my phone has a mind of its own. It just took my photos and made them into a gif file, and then told me it did it. Haha.
You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!
It looks like the corner of the roof of that building could just, flip that moon over, like an egg!
Haha..it does!
Cool shot. It does look like a silver dollar.
Thanks @kp138!
was the moon waxing or waning?
Waxing crescent 3.4%. Haha, see @ejr you forced me to learn something new tonight!
that's about all themoon science stuff i know lol
Haha...you had me beat @ejr, I had to research that tidbit for sure Lol!
Great pic
Thank you 😊
Moon rolling off the barn roof was pretty coo
Lol...I thought it looked pretty neat! Thanks @pit-bullion
Very cool pic!
Nice shot! It seems that the moon is rolling down. :)
Lol! My daughter is a roofing foreman and she is rabid about safety. On one job, the very first day she left, to run another job, the guy who took over didn't do proper safety and something large blew off the roof. Fortunately nobody was hurt, but boy was she angry!!! She spent half an hour, ranting on the phone with me about how she tells them a million times that you have to secure your area before you even begin and the first day she leaves for another job, they forget everything! I think she can relate to you.
Haha....i need to secure that moon a little better.
