July's full moon rose on the night of the 10th and shined brightly over Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa? Yes, my brothers, sister, and I were there for some family business. The moon was a beautiful sight...a clear sky with the bright moon shining over the Quaker Oats plant and other city lights. And to think, weather permitting, people all over the United States and the rest of the world saw this same moon. I wish I would have had my Nikon Cool Pix with me to get a photo of this moment. It has a zoom feature and every once in a while, I can get a decent shot of the moon. But since that opportunity was missed, enjoy a couple lunar moments from past full moons.

Your mention of the Quaker Oats factory got me thinking so I had to look up online to see where the UK's are made. It appears that Quaker Oats grow the oats and manufacture our porridge here in the UK, well, in Scotland to be precise.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prompt!
A fun connection!

DeleteI admired that moon from my balcony.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you had a Nikon CoolPix. So do I. It's the only camera I use these days except for the iPhone.
I've had my Cool Pix for quite a while now and it's getting temperamental so my iPhone gets more use. May have to go shopping for a new one.
DeleteWhat a lovely post . . . the moon . . . the quote . . . the thought that we all see the same moon no matter where we are.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteRegardless of when or where it was, those are great full moon photos. Thanks for sharing.
