I stepped outside to get a shot of some ravens that were passing by, but ended up taking some images of the afternoon moon.
This image was taken just after 4:00pm this afternoon. I've experimented with some digiscoping of the moon in the night sky before, but this one was taken with just a 12x zoom digital camera. The moon was just so striking in the bright blue afternoon sky!

Lana - I wish I knew the moon's features to pick them out. I'll email you on your baffle question.
Birdfreak - it was pretty cool against the brilliant blue!

Nice photo! It's so beautiful to see the Moon during the day like this!

It was bloody cold in Buffalo today! -5! I decided to go on a hike anyways as the sky was pristine and the sun was shining. It turned out to be a wonderful, but bone chilling experience.

Lots of good detail on that picture--one can even make out craters along the moon's lower edge!
I have a question for you. I need to baffle a square-poled shepherd's crook--what would you recommend? There are no screw holes in the pole, so I'm not sure how I'd attach something to it, anyway. Any thoughts? I was considering crazy glue, but that never seems to work very well beyond applying fake nails...
