Bluff, good boy, happy birthday.

After weeks of snow, rain and colds we needed some outside time and turned to one of our favorite and frequent destinations, Foulweather Bluff Preserve. We haven’t been there in winter nor in stormy weather so we weren’t sure what to expect.

When we first arrived the sun actually threatened to make an appearance across the water and the waves were really hitting the beach, much more so than we’ve seen in our previous trips.

Moon, weather, winter.

I took these photos a day early because the weather forecasts called for cloudy skies this evening and I wanted to capture the largest full moon of the year.

I had some difficulty with exposures because the moon was so bright that it blew out any of the trees or surrounding scenery.

I thought I’d play a bit and set the camera for a ten-second exposure and then slowly panned the tripod head – I’m not sure what to make of this, perhaps we’ll call it “art”.

Winds on

Bluff, good boy, happy birthday.
