Full moon rise August 11 2022

[Ouachita]

According to the almanac, it's going to rise at 8:26pm CST at my place in west central Arkansas. About 8:33pm for Dallas area.
It's a 99%er. Should be awesome. Put your house shoes on and go outside to watch it. Better yet, watch it naked.

I may do exactly that but not the moonrise. Can't see it here at home till it gets up over some houses which last night was around 9pm here in Coryelle County Tx.

 

[Ouachita]

We have some topography that causes to be a bit late too.

Here comes the moon now at my place.

It says 8:30 Pacific time here. But it will probably be after 9:00 before it gets up over the hill to the SE of the house.

She is hanging high here now with a fog over the pastures. Looks like a movie scene. Pic doesnt ever do it justice.

 

[Ouachita]

You're right about the pictures not doing it justice. My wife was by my side as I was taking pictures with my phone. She kept saying "it don't look like that".

After a bit I asked her "Would you like to go check cows with me?". Silence.
Then when she realized I'd never capture the moment, she offered "honey, take me for a spin!".
Cows checked good.

The was no watching the moon here, we got just enough rain to force me to stop baling hay.

Naked during full moon, a werewolf method to avoid detection... hmm

No clothes to sniff out when you go missing!!

Put your house shoes on

"house shoes" must be regional phrasing... used by braggarts in Arkansas to signify they own of 2 pairs of shoes...

That is because you are on the "wrong" side of the planet Ken

I should have taken pictures yesterday morning on the lake before daylight.
It was setting looked like you could reach up and touch it.
If it's not overcast in the morning I will take some.

 

[BFE]

No pictures, but we took the kids out to watch it. About as soon as it got fully up it started to disappear behind a cloud, so we watched it until it did. Pretty neat.

the moon was very impressive last night

Very pretty last night. My son was outside hosing off after working in the heat. Crickets singing. One of those perfect summer evenings.

Hey, we're not all backward hillbillies. The tooth brush was invented in Arkansas. If it had been invented anywhere else it would have been called a teeth brush.
(My house shoes are some moccasins I bought from the Hopi on the side of the highway in Arizona about 30 years ago. They are wearing pretty thin nowadays)

They still sell them on line but they're made in China nowadays....

you are right, Photos of the moon taken by us mere mortals rarely come out very realistic looking without some hefty investment in camera equipment..

I haven't yet down loaded the pics off my camera I took last night but suspect they will be disappointing.

Took this one some years ago of my old place in Dec. moon looked a lot bigger thru my eyes.

(I have not seen fog or even dew on grass since I left E Texas. I don't miss either)
