This afternoon's waxing gibbous moon at about 5:30 pm, February 13, 2022.

Waxing Gibbous Moon with craters, one of which is called the Copernicus crater which you can see prominently on my photo Copernicus H crater with subtle dark-halo.

Tonight's Waxing Crescent Moon just after sunset, 10.1.2022, 38% Illuminated.

The skinny Waxing Crescent Moon, January 23,2023 at about 6:15 this evening. The sun was just far enough below the horizon that the sky was a deep purple for the exposure values I had set. Two shot composite so I could get the moon and the tree in focus at the same time.

Moon that appears more than half lighted but less than full is called a gibbous moon.

Of the 51 species of wax cap growing in the UK 25 have been found growing at Llanerchaeron (NT), Ceredigion, West Wales. This might be a Scarlet Wax Cap (Hygrocybe coccinea) but it might not be - I am not an expert!

Taken on the 31st of August 2017. The moon appeared larger and had illuminated edge.

Peafowl wander freely at the Brookfield Zoo, seemingly unconcerned with the various admirers. Such amazing colors!

 

I know peacock colors are kind of cliche, but I really like the lines that the peacock's head/neck make with the spectacular feathers.

A bonus on this sunset was enjoying the moon rise over the mountains. I had not planned to shoot but turned my camera for a quick shot.

 

In the foreground are seafoam and traces of salt, but mostly seafoam from the previous days' winds.

 

The moon was 95.28% visible - to get a more dramatic shot, a much longer lens would be needed. Visually the moon is only half a degree; a 400-600mm would give a much larger and more dramatic moon.

 

The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

 

No comments today – just enjoy :-)

Wax seals were used to ensure the security and secrecy of important documents. Throughout the ages, they were used by governments and royalty, and each had their own characteristic designs to confirm the identity of the sender.

Macro Mondays: Anachronism

Malvaviscus is distinguished by having auriculate petals and red, fleshy fruits. The generic name is referring to the mucilaginous sap produced by members of the genus. The fruit can be used to make jelly or syrup. Both the fruit and flowers are used to make herbal teas.

Geraldton Wax endemic to Geraldton city in the mid west region of Western Australia. I’m surprised to find a few flowers still on the bush.
