Preface To Moonlight: Prepare For Some Terrible Photos Of The Moon!

A not very good picture of the moon.

At some point in time, around 2014, I noticed my wife had a digital camera she wasn't using. I asked if I could use it. She replied - she is averse to giving definitive yes or no answers - she said, "You can if you want to." So I started taking pictures, not very good pictures, I don't have much of an eye, but I posted them to Facebook anyway, since I post pictures of my animals there, & I posted them to my Tumblr blog, which I wasn't doing anything else with. (It's here by the way. I still post pictures there.)

One of the things I love doing is looking at the moon. I would love to have a decent enough camera to take really good pictures of the moon. But I do not. It doesn't mean I don't try. Another thing I love to do is use the pictures I take to illustrate the themes for my radio show. It means I don't violate the copyright of another artist/photographer & get my radio stations in trouble. It also means I don't have to look around for a photo to illustrate my show.

The show this week has the theme "moonlight." I have taken lots of terrible pictures of the moon. Which means I am taking pictures of moonlight. Which means I get to share with you those pictures. I apologize. But also, I am glad! Otherwise I'd have to spend time looking for pictures of moonlight when you can't imagine the number of songs that mention moonlight I am going to have to listen to!
