Moon Pictures

Ive found that when 'regular' people take photos of the moon, they turn out less than, well they just don't even turn out. It's just a dark sky with a blurry circle of white in the middle. Now I say 'regular people' because you can have a nice picture of the moon if you have one or a combination of these three things, 1. a satellite thing that takes pictures from space. 2. an ultra zoom high resolution camera. 3. A really good know how of graphic design/photo editing.  Me having non and being only your average photo editing know how person have captured what I believe to be a really good photo of the moon with my camera. I have a Canon powershot SX230 HS. I love my camera and my sister for getting it for me for Christmas. What I love even more is that it seems to know what I'm thinking and how to capture it on 'film' (as we all know film cameras are almost all gone, I've seen a few at like Walgreens)

Trees trees and more trees

So my dad lives kinda out in the boonies... not really, it just seems like it cause they live on the outskirts of a small town but five miles up the road is another town. If you know Colorado he lives in rural Boulder County, in between Eire and Lafayette. So there's not much to do out there unless you own a ranch. Which he doesn't so the way I kept myself entertained other than crafting and tending to my dog was to take pictures of random things. The thing that they have to most of out there? Yep you guessed it, trees. But since I'm there nearly year round (only spending about 125 days a year with my mom) I captured trees in all seasons and it's interesting to see them change from season to season.

The pictures basically go fall, summer, winter. There's no spring because it looks just about the same as winter and fall, there are hardly any leaves, those that are there are still green and/or it's covered in snow. The first is of my dads apple tree, it's a close-up of the leaves. The second and third are of the same trees (maybe a few centimeters off on positioning) But the first of the two is summer and the second is winter.
