Once in a Blue Moon - Fountain Hills, Arizona

    

     I had the opportunity to go out into the desert, pass Fountain Hills, to photograph the Blue Moon. Considering as how this experience would only come around once in a blue moon I had to take it. (See what I did there?!? Har-har) Thankfully I had a wonderful friend join me in the adventure. Great conversation, a tripod, a shutter release remote, decent weather, and a gorgeous sky were all we needed to capture the second full moon of the month.
     I had mentioned awhile ago on my facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/#!/Stefani.Bullard.Photography, that I find myself looking at the sky whenever I am out and about. I love the moon and clouds. In my opinion, clouds seem to hold a little bit of mystery and magic. So on the night of the Blue Moon I was pleasantly surprised by the cloud layers that rolled in and played with the big, bright moon. Overall, it was a wonderful evening. I had so much fun capturing images that can only be seized once in a blue moon.
