I went out early hoping to see an enchanting sunrise.
But I found only this pale one:
Then I spotted a daytime moon:
And that, after all, is enough magic for one day!

Beautiful capture of the daytime moon :)

We never need to be a magician in order to have enough magic for the day.
Posted by: Rainfield (雨田 Malaysia) | May 11, 2013 at 07:57 AM
It certainly is, here is so much magic in these photographs. Have a great weekend!

Magical indeed, stunning moon shots Sallie. Love the rays of the sun too.
Posted by: Arti | May 08, 2013 at 08:13 PM
Sorry you had so much trouble Sallie, lovely shots of the moon in the daytime, I saw the moon in the middle of the day last week and I thought "how odd" but you do see it during the day.

Dearest Sallie,
Hello, I just stopped by to say "Hi!"
I hope you are doing fine, my dear friend in Frorida♡♡♡
Tonight I am feeling relaxed; well, expecting to be busy from tomorrow p;)
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

Wonderful photos:) Greetings

I'll try again.
Sometimes you have the moon out when the sun is shinning.
Quite strange. I wonder how come.
Great shots.

Great shots.
It is funny to see the moon out with the sun also shinning.
Makes you wonder - now if you could get the sun and the moon that would be really something.

Beautiful Pics!
Posted by: Myrna | May 06, 2013 at 03:35 PM
It looks like a pretty nice sunrise to me! Props for being up early. I'm always amazed when I see the moon during the day.
Posted by: Pat | May 06, 2013 at 01:16 PM
I think they are were outstanding. The first lends itself to the thought that the day is going to warm up right nice!

BEAUTIFUL moon shots!
Thanks for your encouraging words about the A-Z Challenge and my blog in general. I really appreciate it!
Posted by: Pat | May 06, 2013 at 08:19 AM
A day time moon is an extra special treat, the views are just delightful
Posted by: Pearl Maple | May 06, 2013 at 03:17 AM
That moon is magical, great photos!
Posted by: Denise | May 05, 2013 at 05:23 PM
I do like these sky photos, very nice. Especially that daytime moon!
Posted by: Al | May 05, 2013 at 03:07 PM
Sounds and looks like you had a magical day!
Posted by: EG CameraGirl , Canada | May 05, 2013 at 01:09 PM
'almost' worth getting up early for. :<) Really beautiful. I'm fond of daytime moons. They do seem magical to me.
Posted by: Nan | May 05, 2013 at 09:54 AM
Dearest Sallie,
Oh, it is my dream to take photoes of sky, sunrise, sunset, moon. But don't know how(^^;) i wish I could learn from you♡♡♡
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

Hi Sallie! Re your comment on Ocala: Yes, tongue-in-cheek! Pretty much despise that outfit. Craziness!
Posted by: Lowell | May 05, 2013 at 03:06 AM
More than enough to satisfy me, Sallie. I'm getting up early lately, too. We're still in UT.
Posted by: Barb | May 04, 2013 at 07:29 PM
Wow Sallie...
Posted by: Ramblingwoods | May 04, 2013 at 03:26 PM
lol, as I use to say, I rarely comes home emptyhanded. It is a great moonshot. :)
Posted by: NatureFootstep Photo | May 04, 2013 at 02:44 PM
I love that moon photo! We had a daytime moon here yesterday. My kids were very excited about it. :)
Posted by: Dana | May 04, 2013 at 11:32 AM
wow, awesome clicks...
Posted by: Meghana | May 04, 2013 at 11:19 AM
Moon + pines = beautiful shots ! Bravo !
Posted by: Annie | May 04, 2013 at 08:54 AM
Thats a splendid moon shot - each time I think I have the time and place organised for a moon shoot, the clouds say "not tonight'!
Oh well!!
Chaos is slowly declining here.

So beautiful, my friend.
Posted by: SandyCarlson | May 03, 2013 at 06:33 PM
That certainly is enough magic for one day, Sallie.
Posted by: Penny | May 03, 2013 at 02:06 PM
I'm wondering if you used a tripod to shoot the moon? I've had some great moon shots, but always and only with a tripod...maybe I'm just too old and shaky to do handheld photos!
Whatever, you got some very nice photos here!
Posted by: Lowell | May 03, 2013 at 12:56 PM
Lovely to behold at dawn!
Posted by: Hazel | May 03, 2013 at 12:35 PM
Hallo Sallie
Bilder die verwöhnen .D
LG vom katerchen

Beautiful shots. I love spotting the moon in the morning before it goes down and in the afternoon before it gets dark.
Posted by: Carver | May 03, 2013 at 09:36 AM
Beautiful photos, Sallie :) I love the moon shots!
Happy skywatching and have a nice weekend.
Posted by: Hilde | May 03, 2013 at 07:35 AM
Amazing Moon shot! I love to paint Moons.
Posted by: Sharon Wagner | May 03, 2013 at 07:23 AM
I love the daytime moon. These shots are really wonderful. Hope you have a fantastic weekend. :)
Posted by: Gail | May 03, 2013 at 06:20 AM
I would say that seeing a playful morning moon would be hitting the jackpot. What a beauty. I would catch it every now and then leaving for school but not ofter. Thanks for all your sweet comments. You are a dear. genie
Posted by: genie | May 03, 2013 at 05:29 AM
excellent takes
Posted by: Jidhu Jose | May 03, 2013 at 04:02 AM
I'm happy enough just to see any sunrise..... but to be mooned in the daytime must be a most special treat.
Lovely photos. Lovely post.
Have a great weekend!
Posted by: Sleepshort | May 03, 2013 at 12:45 AM
Stunning shots!
Posted by: Lady Fi | May 02, 2013 at 11:21 PM
I don't see many day-moons, so this is a terrific capture:) Happy weekend!
Posted by: Emille (Jesh StG) | May 02, 2013 at 09:11 PM
The moonscapes are marvellous, but as I realised in my own quest for the "perfect" sunset, each sunrise and set holds it's own beauty.
Posted by: Karen | May 02, 2013 at 07:58 PM
Enchanting!
Posted by: Mick | May 02, 2013 at 07:15 PM
For some reason I've always thought of daytime moons as good luck for me.
Posted by: Yogi | May 02, 2013 at 07:11 PM
the smoothness of the water and the texture on the moon make these great. :)
Posted by: TexWisGirl | May 02, 2013 at 06:25 PM
Those are wonderful shots of the moon!
Posted by: My Little Home and Garden | May 02, 2013 at 05:46 PM
Great shots sallie, and the colours in the sky are so pretty.
Posted by: Karen | May 02, 2013 at 05:31 PM
Wow! What a gift ~ both set of collages are wonderful! ^_^
