~ My Favorite Place ~

I'm going to tell you a little secret...
My favorite place to be in the whole wide world is up on the roof top or tree top high!
I LOVE IT!!
Ask my Mother, when I was little if you couldn't find me, LOOK UP!
I can remember a big maple tree we had in the back yard and I loved climbing to the tippy top and swaying in the breeze with the tree, it was truly wonderful!!
This evening on the news they were talking about how beautiful the moon rise was going to be...so you can guess where I decided to go!! For the best vantage point up to the roof!!
I was so excited and poor dear Helen was back on Earth waiting for me to video chat, lol...Sorry Helen I know I took a bit longer than I said but I couldn't help myself!! I got a bit carried away with the camera and took over 150 photos, Ekkk...But boy did I have fun! I have to say today was a day for the record books!! Or at least my record books because I had so MUCH fun!!
Jake!! Up HERE Jake!! Hello Jake!!
He wasn't too happy and started whining as he wanted to be on the roof top too!!

This is what you call waiting...and playing with the shutter speed on the camera....Watch the roof vent spin, YeeHaw!!

Now it is still, lol....Oh this is fun!! Come on Moon, where are you?

Ahh one of the Crepe Myrtle bushes from a different point of view...as you can see still playing and waiting for the Moon!!

Oh sweet Jule's...Look where Momma is...Up on the roof top!!


Then it happened....The sun was setting...Oh so pretty!! Soon I will see the Moon!

Okay a different view from the camera and a different setting...are we having fun yet? I am...soon the Moon will be up!

Ahh and another spectacular South Texas Sunset...Okay Moon I am ready and Helen is waiting!

Then to the East...a Spectacular Thunderhead...Wow!! It is HUGE and growing bigger!!

I zoom in just as the color of the sunset hits it just right, Awesome! Look at those colors!!

Where is the Moon? Behind the clouds, ugh!! Sorry folks, lol...It just wasn't meant to be, Maybe tomorrow night...I just love being on the roof!!

So Helen were the photos worth the wait?

oh yes! yes! yes! And I was not waiting...that is the deal...we are in or not...whatever...easy going is our middle names when it comes to calling. These are great Wen. I can't believe you took 150 photos OMG!! My fave today is the thunderhead...looks wonderful. Although I do love a sunset and that is magnificent. Porr Jake! Just be careful getting up and down...long way for me to come and rescue you. LOL!

Lovely photos Wendy! Love the reds in those sunsets! Ethan loves climbing up high too! Helen has been telling me about shutter speed etc (I am such a novice I have no idea) so it was really interesting to see those two photos of the roof vent. Hope you too have fun with Skype although sounds like you are both hooked already!

And, who cares? It was just HELEN that you kept waiting! LOL!!!

gorgeous shots wendy! i took the dog for a walk the other night, there was a full moon right over my neighbor's house lighting up the clouds, it was so beautiful, it reminded me of a scene from harry potter. i wanted to go back in and get my camera and tripod, but i was too lazy.
