We have had a series of hazy nights. While everyone else was getting glorious sharp pictures of the super moon, I got an enchanted, hazy moon that peeked at me from between the branches of an oak tree.
It was bright, but it was not clear. And yet … I rather like it. It was a very sensual moon in a soft, dark sky.

SERENDIPITY: SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
Marilyn, it sounds to me like you might have some understanding of the Japanese concepts of wabi and sabi, mono-no-aware (a sensitivity to ephemera), and mujô (impermanence). If this all sounds like gobbledegook to you, you can read this Wikipedia article:

I don’t have specific knowledge of these concepts, but I have a head full of variations of similar stuff. I sort of minored in “religious philosophy” in college, not because I’m religious (I’m not), but because I find it fascinating. Had there been a major, I’d have taken it, but it was 1967 and you weren’t allowed to “create” your own major. Now, I think if you pay full tuition or have parents willing to add a wing to the library? You can do anything.
I’ll take a look at the article. Thanks!

I happen to like that haze around the moon- the glow. Well captured Marilyn!

It’s lovely. Not what I was trying to shoot, but lovely anyhow. I tried three nights running to get the full moon, but two nights, it was so hazy, there wasn’t any to shoot — and this one, that was as good as it got. Funny, because it was clear all day.

It was pretty. Not a great “moon” shot, but a very pretty picture. Everyone but me seems to have caught that moon!

I feel like i’m getting more and more hazy and blurry than clear and sharp these days… not that there’s anything wrong with that! 😉 well… not all that much wrong with that! 🙂

We get clear days, but at night, it mists. Humidity? Whatever, we almost never have clear night these days.

Not familiar enough with North Atlantic/high latitude weather patterns to say, but high air humidity plus cooling night air equals condensation just about most places i reckon?

Here, it’s time of year. Winter — if it isn’t snowing — you get very clear skies. Sometime in early summer, too. But the rest of the year, anywhere along the coast, it tends to be hazy. Maybe it’s the ocean.
