Bye Bye July - A Blue Moon

July has ended
with a Blue Moon.
The second full moon in a month
 is called a Blue Moon.
It has nothing to do with the color,
it is not blue.
The occurrence happens about every 30 months.
We were fortunate to have clear skies
for part of the evening in Eastern Canada
to see this
big, beautiful and bright supermoon.

Low in the sky

Do you see the moth?
I took this pic from an upstairs window.
I was unaware of this moth 
on the outside of the glass.
 when taking the pic.
The moon glowed beautifully, shining

on the waters of the Baie des Chaleur... 

A road sign got into the way. (above)
In the next pic
the moon is going under the clouds.
However, It did come out later, 
it was so bright it lit up the living room.
I am surprised how well this pic turned out.
My camera is a simple Power Shot by Canon.
I didn't use a flash on the last pic.

Some music videos to enjoy:

Elvis sings "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again"

"Blue Moon"

I love this one
Blue Moon in Kentucky - Kurt Russell (Elvis)

I wish you all a great summer (the rest of it)
thanks for your visit.. xo

all pic are my sole original property

Paper Lanterns

Brighten up summer with Paper Lanterns. 
I decorated my Gazebo
for my sister Judy's Birthday..
also My Grandkids are coming
to visit from Vancouver and Montreal
next week.

Most of the lanterns came from

The Dollarstore or Pharmacy.
**A great idea to decorate a child's room**

(from Wikipedia).... Paper lantern , also known as a "Thai Lover's Balloon," is a lantern made of thin, brightly colored paper. Paper lanterns come in various shapes and sizes, as well as various methods of construction. In their simplest form, they are simply a paper bag with a candle placed inside, although more complicated lanterns consist of a collapsible bamboo or metal frame of hoops covered with tough paper. 

I was happy to find these great "S" hooks at the Dollarstore
 that hook over a  2"by 4" board,
 no screwing or nailing necessary.


The Largest one
I clipped these "tablecloth anchors" on the bottom
to keep them more stable from the wind
and they add to the decor, 
also found at the Dollarstore.

At night some light up.

Nighty night... 

We have strong nor-east winds where I live
I put plastic on the windy side of the Gazebo
to protect them from rain also.
