Early Spring moon ..

We watched "Contact" last night with Jodi Foster .. An awesome movie.  Just before turning off the lights and going upstairs, something drew me to the front porch .. this moon, two nights after full, with a ring around it.  I took dozens of photos as the clouds raced across the sky.  Here are a few of them, shot with my Nikon D700 and Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 VRII lens.

Here is a lovely comment posted to Patch.com in response to my photos and captions:  
"Going through these pictures, reading the subcaptions -- so many givers and so much love! Darren, my handsome superstar friend, there when you need him. The McElroy family, pillars of our community. The Savinos, I went to school with Steve. What they and the Pevny family experienced you can’t ever adequately describe with words. I do not know the Pevnys or Dave Wilson, but I do now, thanks to Patch. New Milford has so much hometown beauty to it. We’re lucky."  -Michelle

Two-mile hike at the Fort Lee Recreation Center, followed by a screening of "Perils of Pauline", filmed at spots pointed out on the hike, along the Palisades.


Eric Nelsen led the hike, pointing out little-known stories about the construction of the George Washington Bridge and about the once-booming movie industry in Fort Lee.
