Microblog Monday – The Bat and the Full Moon

I know my Facebook friends are probably tired of hearing about this, but I felt the need to share my bat and the full moon story here as well.

Around dusk on the night of the full moon (August 18th), I took our cat out for his evening constitutional (yes, we take our indoor cat out on a leash to do his business). While we stood at the edge of the woods, we had a bat dancing around our heads. It even dropped down low enough once that Sid jumped at it (and missed it by that much… *grin*).

I spent the rest of the evening watching another New England Patriots preseason game, whilst periodically meandering outside to see if the clouds cleared enough to get some shots of the full moon. Just before midnight, my efforts were rewarded thusly –

Yes, that’s a bat flying across La Luna. Here’s a zoomed in, cropped look at it –

If that weren’t *SQUEE* worthy enough. someone my husband knows saw both shots, and told him I should put them up on my Fine Art America gallery so they could buy copies. Even more ego-swelling – while that person hasn’t bought them yet, some random person ordered a print of the full size image!

I may need to add, “Shutterbug” to my blog tag line… *grin*

The Bat and the Full Moon “Love. I know my Facebook friends are probably tired of hearing about this, but I felt the need to share my bat and the full moon story here as well.

Just before midnight, my efforts were rewarded thusly. Bat and the Full Moon. Full moon with a bat photobomb. Yes, that’s a bat flying across La Luna. Here’s a zoomed in, cropped look at it. Bat and the Full Moon, cropped and enlarged. Moon and Bat, cropped and enlarged. If that weren’t *SQUEE* worthy enough. someone my husband knows saw both shots, and told him I should put them up on my Fine Art America gallery so they could buy prints. Even more ego-swelling – while that person hasn’t bought them yet, some random person ordered a print of the full size image! I may need to add, “Shutterbug” to my blog tag line… *grin* This is not a passive voice. I am writing in an active voice. My SEO will stop telling me how to write. These sentences are also shorter than twenty words. Stop being so controlling. Especially since most of the sentences in this post are not mine. I will keep going until you turn green. I can’t believe this is still orange. Finally, it has turned. Success!
