Once in a Blue Moon!

For a first in my lifetime (well, the first I can remember), I marveled on one of the most beautiful displays of God's universe. A Blue Moon occurs when there is a second full moon during a single month. This happens about once every 2.5 years. But the fact that this is happening on a New Years makes it an even more rare occurrence, being that the last time it happened was in 1990! I went outside around midnight and spent about an hour capturing images. I used various shutter-speeds as slow as 20" to get the desired results. I also decided to grab a quick video of it, posted here. If you are outside on New Year's Eve you should be able to catch one last glimpse of it!

The Carnival - 2009 A.D.

In the old days, the original "Carnival" was a Christian tradition that came around just before Easter, and ended on "Fat Tuesday." Of course these carnivals were filled with the masquerades, floats, and live bands that are encompassed in the true celebration. More often though, especially in the states, we get these 'teaser' carnivals or "fairs" that pop up just about anywhere, anytime, and are probably looking to make a buck. It is that very effect I experienced last-night. I was driving by the movie theater, and like out of a scene from Alice in Wonderland the Carnival appears right in the middle of the parking lot! Needless to say this was not an opportunity I could pass up. I snapped a few images and headed straight to the ticket booth! I would like to share my favorite shot of the night:
