  • It may have been in the 80’s the previous week, but winter hit hard in Northern Wyoming the last week of October. For 5 days temperatures stayed below freezing, even below zero at times with several snowstorms. Usually the first snowfall of the season quickly melts, but not this year. Snowy moonrises are my favorite. There is just something about the clean, crisp air. The warmth of the moon contrasts with the deep blues of twilight reflected in the snow. October's full moon is called the Hunter’s Moon. I went hunting for deer to capture under the moon on the edge of town. But none of them were on the right side of the road or close enough. Then I came across these 4 grazing horses and they made the shot instead.

  • At first the brightest comet in years had the view diminished by a poorly timed full moon. But on this night a later moonrise time finally allowed a mere 15 minutes of darkness. That’s all that was needed to reveal a long spectacular tail amid stripes of green airglow. Clouds threatened to block the view, but they stayed clear enough. A dusting of snow from days earlier remained on the highest peaks of the Bighorn Mountains. When the moon hit the opposite horizon the white peaks were painted gold like a late-night dawn. As the sky brightened, the comet faded while it sunk lower in the west.
