Moonrise over Rio Grande Cliffs, Caballo Lake State Park, NM, May 4, 2012
Practice, practice
This was taken the night of May 4, 2012, the night before the big moonrise of the year everyone was so eager to capture. Back on my post after that big night I indicated I hoped I got a few interesting shots of the moonrise and I'd like to think I did. Tomorrow I'll start posting a short series of my favorites here as I wander eastward toward Red Rock.

Mix With the World
I am convinced our own happiness requires that we should continue to mix with the world, and to keep pace with it. . . . I can speak from experience on the subject. From 1793 to 1797, I remained closely at home, saw none but those who came there, and at length became very sensible of the ill effect it had upon my mind, and of its direct and irresistible tendency to render me unfit for society, and uneasy when necessarily engaged in it. I felt enough of the effect of withdrawing from the world then to see that it led to an anti-social and misanthropic state of mind, which severely punishes him who gives in to it; and it will be a lesson I never shall forget as to myself.
John Adams
