Location: Kohala Coast, Big Island, Hawaii
One morning last month I was outdoors taking photos of birds. One of the birds I was trying to photograph flew up into the sky, and when I looked up to see where it was going, I noticed the moon. It was almost directly overhead, and I decided it was as worthy a photo subject as the birds.
For the record, the photo was taken from Hawaii's Kohala Coast on Aug. 22, 2008, at 8:56 AM, Hawaii Standard Time - about 29 hours before the moon officially reached its Last Quarter phase.

This is so very lovely. The only way it could be better if you had of captured the bird too, flying across with the moon in the background.

Very lovely...to see the moon during the day is always a treat. Thank you for sharing.
Love it, love it, love it! Terrific moon!
Wow. To me it looks just like one of those shots you might see taken from the window of a space shuttle.

I love moon shots. Makes me happy seeing them so near...yet so far away :)

Bobbie, great skywatch. I'm enjoying your other posts and photos as well.
There's something hypnotic about the moon in daylight, isn't there?
Beautiful ball on blueblue sky - nice shot!
fantastic picture! I love it!
Great shot! I love the Gecko below too.
I've got sort of an obsession with the moon and taking photos of it, but neither the equipment nor the know-how to get it done the way you have here.

Lovely moon photo!!! Great color contrast.
Blessings! JJ
Beautiful sky, beautiful moon.
That's fabulous! Enjoy your weekend...
Hi Bobbie, I am so envious of you! This is a beautiful moon picture! If you wondered why I stayed so long at your site, I was off 'window shopping' for the Nikon D40 and D40X.
That will wait a bit, but Happy SkyWatching and thanks for checking in on my Sky-Ford Friday page. :-)

I did pick out a single non-Ford car from that picnic too for my other blog today. Not much for skies though.

This is a gorgeous shot! Super choice for SWF. Have a happy day.
Brilliant photo for SWF
So beautiful yet so simple!
Gorgeous moon!
Love it! Great shot!
wow! really a GOOD MORNING MOON! I am looking forward for a long lens so I'd be able to capture the moon that close.
Thank you all very much for visiting and for you kind comments. I appreciate it.

Beautiful capture of the moon, and pretty blue sky Over Hawaii's coast for skywatch! First visit here, you have some great photos!
I can only imagine how beautiful it is where you live!
Happy Weekend!:)
Happy sky~watching!
Great shot - it looks close enough to touch!!!
Love the Ginger post - my garden is full of them!!!!
Thanks for visitng Rabaul DP. Am late visiting this weekend due to visitors, internet & power problems!!!
@ Catherine - Thank you. I hope you will visit again.
@ Jules - Thanks. I know the ginger is a common sight to those of us who live in the tropics, but apparently is a novel sight to those from the temperate zones. Hope your internet & power problems are cleared up there in PNG. ;-}
