Happy Thursday,
I am sharing some pretty sunset images taken from my back yard and deck. The full moon images were from the end of October.
1. Full moon taken on October 31st. I was thankful for clear skies on Oct 31st, the first full moon of October we had rainy cloudy skies.
I wonder of anyone else is having problems leaving comments, I can type a comment and it will just disappear when I click publish. I have been having to do the verification with the pictures on most comments too. I am not a ROBOT!!!! Is this happening with you?
2. The second full moon in October, called the Blue Moon.
3. The moon seen on November 3rd. The moon phase is called Waning Gibbous.
4. The sunset on Nov 3rd, the sky was looking beautiful.
5. The sunset colors can change in minutes, they went from looking orange to a pretty pink and purple sky.
6. I am thankful for a beautiful sunset and a lovely end to the day.
7. I am thankful and it is a pleasure to watch my back yard birds.
My bird for the day is the Hairy Woodpecker, it looks so similar to the Downy Woodpecker but it is larger in size. The beak is thicker and the body is just bigger overall. I can watch both the Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers visit my feeders.
Thankfully, we are happy and continue to be healthy.
I wish you all good health, take care and stay safe!
Go outside and breathe deeply. Enjoy every moment.
Live simple and be happy! 😊 Keep smiling!
Thank you Michelle for hosting Thankful Thursday.
Thank you to Yogi the host of Skywatch Friday

Hello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful moon photos, and the sunsets. The color of the sky is very pretty.
Take care, and have a great day!
Thank you Marit!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
There have been so many awful fires in recent years that's what immediately springs to mind when I see those deep red images of the sky.
ReplyDeleteThank you David!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
That's an absolutely wonderful color changing sunset in the sky! The moon shots are outstanding and glad you able to capture both the full moons of October.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and have a nice day
Thank you for the comment!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
the moon shots are beautiful and the spectacular sunset is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've already had that they disappear when you send comments or pictures that are there because of spam.
Have a happy day and take care, hug Elke
Thank you Elkes!
DeleteHave a great day!
Hi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures of the full moon and the waning moon.
I also like the sunset.
I have no problem responding to other people.
Have a nice day and stay healthy.
Thank you Irma!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
Having same issue.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reply!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
I love your moon and sky shots!
ReplyDeleteSo far, no not having any trouble making comments...there are a couple that I have to be sure the comment page is fully loaded. They are ones where the comment is imbedded at the end of the post.
I hope you are not having trouble commenting on mine...I don't have either set to do any kind of verification. I just moderate all comments on the one because ever now and then I start getting the real hateful comments about being a baby boomer, and wishing us to die.
Thanks Rose!
DeleteI always have to check the box saying I am not a robot.
Take care, enjoy your day!
The woodpecker is neat and one I don't think I've seen. I haven't had that problem with commenting...YET! But I hate that our thumbnail photos don't show up in my sidebar blog list! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
HI Eileen...your sky shots are awesome, I really enjoyed all of them but my fav is the B & W moon shot the 3rd set...the detail is wonderful. The Hairy and Downy both great to see. I think the reason for the reduction of Hairy is habitat destruction cutting of cavity trees...the logging industry has never been insync with nature. they cut in spring when birds are nesting disrupting the whole cycle, so ONE huge logging cut can greatly reduce the numbers of successful egg laying and hatchling seasons.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sondra!
DeleteLiving here next to the forest, we are lucky to see various woodpeckers. I have seen both the Hairy and Downy at the same time on my feeders. Take care, enjoy your day!
...beautiful skies, but I have given up on shooting the moon, they never turn out well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tom!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!

ReplyDeleteEileen - these are GORGEOUS!!!
Re comments; Blogger is playing around again at the moment and folk are experiencing all sorts of nonsense. In my case, it seems to think it has to autfill my name in the box, then I have to delete that before entering the comment itself!!! Deep breaths... YAM xx
Thank you Yam!
DeleteI guess it is good that the blogger problems are not just with me.
Take care, enjoy your day!
I have had comments disappear a couple of times. I've also had a couple of days when I couldn't upload a pic for some reason. I'm not a fan of the new blogger.
ReplyDeleteYou have become an expert at taking moon shots, Eileen!
Thank you RedPat!
DeleteI do enjoy watching the moon and sky!
Take care, enjoy your day!
Oh no not more blogger problems! And yet your photos are so enjoyable! That moon, that sky, and then that woodpecker! Many thanks. Hope your day is glorious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
Hello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteI Love the Moon! Beautiful photos.
All the images are magnificents.
Hugs,
Ailime
Thank you Ailime!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
Such gorgeous photos Eileen! I am having the same issues with comments disappearing. I've got to where I do a quick copy before hitting publish so I can just paste if it disappears, since it usually takes 3 or 4 times before it actually posts. It's annoying!
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha!
DeleteThe copy and paste is a good idea!
Take care,enjoy your day!
Incredible colors in your skies and as always great moon shots!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sallie!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day! Have a great weekend ahead!
I do get that I am not a robot thing more often now, and have to copy comment before sending in case it disappears. I just take it in stride as there is not much else to do. I do send my feedback to Blogger quite often. Your photos are all amazing. Love the sunset shots. We get sunsets like that sometimes, but I can't see the horizon where I live, so my photos are seldom spectacular.
ReplyDeleteHello Yvonne,
DeleteI will be doing the copying before sending it now too. Thanks for the comment and visit.
Take care, enjoy your day! Have a great weekend ahead!
Ah, this durn technology!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, as always. I haven't been moved to photograph the moon in awhile. I'm a bit lethargic.
Thank you Jenn!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day! Have a great weekend ahead!
Such a wonderful collection of moon and sunset photographs.
ReplyDeleteWhen commenting I am finding that the 'I am not a robot' comes up far more often now!
Happy Thursday.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
Have a great weekend ahead!
Beautiful skies and moon shots
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you!
Thank you Bill!

Fabulous photos Eileen, your moon ones are incredible :) xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit!

I was having some trouble with comments disappearing on Blogger, but not on your blog. Technology!!! Lovely sunset photos. Now I want to put some suet out and see what kinds of woodpeckers are attracted.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment.
DeleteThe woodies do love the suet.
Have a great day and a happy weekend!
Wonderful moon shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you William!
DeleteHave a great weekend!

P.S.: No problem leaving a comment. :)

DeleteBeautiful skies and gorgeous moon shots! Thankfully, I'm not having to use verification. It's a pain, and sorry to hear you hare having to do it. Blogger seems to be doing strange things these days!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment and visit!

Beautiful skies.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jim!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
Love those moon shots and the sky photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been having commenting problems, not yet anyway.
I get that I'm not a robot but just ignore it!
Thank you Karen!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
You're right about sunsets changing in minutes unless it's clear then things take their time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Red!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
I wish we could get decent moon photos, we always manage to have cloud hanging around.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
I am thankful for the beautiful photos, Eileen. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
i have NOT been having any trouble leaving comments. i have in the past, and when it was happening, i copied my comment before hitting publish so it would not be lost if it did not publish the first time.
ReplyDeletethe moon and skies have been gorgeous, your images are really awesome!!
Thank you Debbie!
DeleteThe copy and paste is working,rather then re-typing my comment.
Take care, have a happy weekend!
Great moon shots. The moon is infinitely interesting to me. I love you sky shots. It wasn't until I started participating in SWF years ago that I noticed how fast the color changes as sunset. The sky waits for no one.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe!!
Thank you Alan!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
Eileen, your Moon shots are lovely.
ReplyDeleteMB
Thank you MB!

Amazing skies, Beautiful photos of Moon.
ReplyDeleteStay well. Happy Weekend.
Thank you for the comment!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
Beautiful moon!
ReplyDeleteYes, same here with the comments, annoying.
The clouds are arty. Beautiful bird, we seem to have one here, too, but I just saw it taking off.
Thank you Iris!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
Eileen your moon shots are amazing and those sunsets are very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
I am thankful I get to visit you often and see your amazing photos. Beautiful full moon, and your sunsets are spectacular
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
Wow Eileen...all is just stunning! Yes, I have had that oroblem too. I find that if I view blogs thru the "view as website" (from my phone) ... The link is at bottom of blogger bligs...I can then comment & it publishes perfectly. Try it.
ReplyDeleteAnni, thank you for the tip and comment!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
Gorgeous photos. I am not experiencing the issues you mentioned but I find that I have to be very careful composing my post and adding photos. Everything just disappears for no reason or looks like it has disappeared (sometimes it has and sometimes it hasn't).
ReplyDeleteThank you Penny!
DeleteTake care, have a happy weekend!
Hello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures of the moon. So special.
Last nights when I was working I saw a small part of the moon. And what an amazing skies. It looks it is on fire.
Funny shots of the woodpecker.
Greetings, Marco
Thank you Marco!
DeleteTake care, enjoy your weekend!
Absolutely breathtaking photos!! The moon is alway a magnificent choice!. They don't always come out as well as yours have! And the sunset is just as breathtaking. I'm speechless! Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit and comment.
DeleteHave a great weekend!
Beautiful moon photos, and wonderful sunsets!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing the birds, too!
I have not had problems with comments disappearing, but I am having problems getting my photos arranged in the order I want them on my blog. And it seems to take me twice as long to get a post ready to publish than it did before the "new and improved???" version of Blogger.
Thank you for all your comments on my blog!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you Lea!
DeleteThe new blogger does seem to have problems.
Take care, enjoy your weekend!
Has captado muy bien esa luna llena, con las dificultades que entraña.
ReplyDeleteLos atardeceres son preciosos y el visitante, me resulta encantador.
Qu pases un buen fin de semana.
Lovely photos, Eileen! Beautiful sunset photos. I love how the colour changes over time.
ReplyDelete-Soma
Gorgeous sky and those moon shots...wow! I still don't do well photographing the moon. I have trouble sometimes with leaving comments on blogs. Not recently, though. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteOh those incredible sunsets Eileen! ... and, of course, the moon shots you took, so lovely. Loving the pattern of the Woodpeckers' plumage, so distinctive. Have a very happy weekend and week ahead, all the best. Sue xx
ReplyDeletegorgeous moon shots Eileen. enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou probably owe this full moon to my grandson Jahnay ❤. It was the day he died on October 31. Beautiful moon shows you and also very beautiful and fantastic skies.
