Local Photo Opportunities


Moon Rises in May and Sept over the Summit House

Hi Everyone,

With all our Year End club work going on I almost forgot that the Full Moon is this coming Friday and Saturday evening.  I also realized that the same locations will work in Sept, so I documented that information too.
See the attached JPeg for all the details about the location and timing of the moon.
I will be there Friday evening about 6:45pm and will park along the dirt road under 91.  But I can not make it on Saturday.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Larry

The western Massachusetts 2019 Farm Festivals will be posted here as soon as it’s published.  It’s a great opportunity to photograph farm stands, produce and festivals.

September through October – With spring on the doorstep and with everything turning green and flowering, not to mention more visible wildlife, the 3.7 mile Connecticut River Walk & Bike Trail will be a great photo op from April to late fall.
