Japanese Chestnut


 
These are two photos of the Japanese Chestnut in our backyard now in full bloom.

The top image is from the upstairs window and the bottom image is from the back door. I like the clouds in the lower photograph but prefer the tree in the top photograph.

Yesterday's full moon (June '17) is the Strawberry Moon as its said this is the best time to pick strawberries. Here are two different photographs, one with the moon slightly obscuring the top portion of moon and the other also has some clouds in front of the moon which are the dark coloration on the bottom left and center.



Personally, i'm not able to tell the different between the many full moons i have photographed over the years. The full moon eclipse that occurred some years ago over the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the night has some color in the moon as it entered and left the earth's shadow ... otherwise, they all look pretty much the same to me. [and, of course, the moon doesn't really change much].
