Cool - blue moon WAS blue for a few moments...
Aug 22, 2013 11:58:21 #
Outside the house around 10pm 2 days ago, I saw a beautiful cloud covered moon thru the trees and ran off to get my superzoom. I took a handful of pictures and actually caught a couple of pictures of the moon appearing blue! Imagine my surprise to learn later that this was a blue moon (full moon twice in one month) It was hazy and cloudy so I attribute the blue color to atmospheric conditions. The photo is not remarkable but I enjoy the color. :)

Actually this "blue moon" is defined by another method. It's the third full moon in a four full moon season. (Four seasons/year).

Thanks for the positive feedback Tbohon and Shakey! I am going back to look again at the other pics from that night
Kingmapix - I stand corrected on the blue moon definition, I should have read into the moon article a bit more

I really like this shot, and would probably display it-as, then put it in the file to use in backgrounds, etc.

Thank you Dixie Girl and thank you Mercer.
I will keep the file handy as you say.
Below is a shot of the conditions around the time of the "blue moon"
