My view used to be hugely blocked by a giant date palm tree. It was a constant irritation. And then the owner got rid of it, and the skies opened!
This particular photo wasn't taken from that vantage point. Thank goodness!
Feel free to take a copy of this photo for yourself!

My photo's a poor substitute for the genuine article, but she'll do till your skies are clear again.
Enjoy the nourishing rain, along with my photo. And thank you for your lovely remarks.

I have not seen any moon pics as good as yours. You have learned to squeeze every bit of quality out of your technology!

But I cannot thank you enough! My moon shots owe a huge debt to you, for encouraging and teaching me just how to get the best photo possible with the equipment I have. And you pointed me in the direction of high quality equipment, which has allowed me to flower!
And thank you for helping my day start so beautifully!
