You want the moon? I'll get you the moon
No not a Blue Moon, but a Blues Moon. In fact It's so well behaved it sits slap bang on those electrical wires nestling in a true blue sky. I know I'm showing you a first here, a cloudless bluest of blue sky. Not a speck of grey, no drizzle, fog, mist. Not even so much as more than a gentle breeze. Very obliging lone bird flew into shot at the right moment too. What can I say! It's always a wonderful life at the festival. Of course the day after it was pis..... I mean persisting down with ocean rain, winds worse than Wuthering Heights and the moon had skedaddled back to undercover of the night. You wanted the moon , I got you the moon, the whole of the moon not dancing but certainly moonstruck.

It's over 'til next year. Do you remember the photos of the musicians and my words being" I haven't a clue who who the guy is" and "anyone want to fill in the Blanks feel free? Well knock me down with a feather! Out of the Blue(s) the saxophonist has left a comment to tell me it was him. So now I know who he and the guitarist are. That would be the deliciously titled "Manx Jazz Kats" and I will be telling you more about them tomorrow. Of course that's if you're good I'll even show you the faces that go with the hands I posted this week. Lots of images all in one post. Spoiling you. Babooshka will be presenting "Manx Jazz Kats" and I know you'll all be thrilled to see them and tell them so, especially you Virginia, Birmingham DP. People, V. I got me some real live people. Poor Manx Jazz Kats. Not sure they are prepared for the worldwide audience on this blog. To sneak a peek click colour below. Makes a change from not being able to photograph the Police with UK Photographic laws. If you are in the UK you need to read that post. See third link.

ReplyDeleteBelle portée avec une note toute ronde et bleue.
ReplyDeleteOnly a professional photog eyes' can spot this. Great one. Loving it.
ReplyDeleteSmokin'
ReplyDeleteI think that moon is playing a "c".
ReplyDeleteThe moon has lost a string on his guitar...
ReplyDeleteNice fit-in!
nice capture, peeking through the power lines. probably pretty shocking experience for the man in the moon.
ReplyDeletethe shot is awesome and reminds me of a musical score page...i am thinking abstractly here but, it does go with the blues festival and such.
ReplyDeletehave a fab friday
We need a few more stars for the score to be complete :-)
ReplyDeleteFun photo of the sky, like the angles and lines framing up the moon. Thanks for sharing with us all in sky watch friday.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, ladies and gentlemen,
ReplyDeletethe Bloo Moon Groop!
Beautiful capture,
proof that the moon's not yet joined the wireless craze. ;-)
Cool shot, Babooshka.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot. vivid blue.
ReplyDeleteScarey stuff about laws. :0/
I absolutely love the blue in this pic, its awesome.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend

Hi. This moon is well camouflaged.
ReplyDeleteMoonstruck a chord.
ReplyDeleteSo nice of the moon to cooperate that way. SOunds like a blast at the blues festival. My wonderful groom loves jazz and blues.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could aid you in your sky enwisenment! :D
I love jazz & blues, sky & moon, rain & sun.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a cloudless, sunny day. After a week of rain, I appreciate them even more.
The blues moon is just great :)
ReplyDeleteI love it. Beautiful and fun.
ReplyDeleteThe Moon is playing the notes on the strings of the electric pole.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get the moon to come out? Laxey will always be blue skies to me. Looking forward to the Manx Jazz Kats. Did you have any comeback about the Police image?
ReplyDeleteBlue cloudless sky will for me!
ReplyDeleteCool
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun capture! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat swf photo. And you've got me in a state of suspense!
ReplyDeleteI've been mooned! hehe
ReplyDeleteGreat capture...love the bright blue with the moon peeking from behind the horizontal lines. :)

Moon on a G.string too punchy perhaps? I am new to your blog but have enjoyed your musical images and your harder hitting posts. One for the bookmarks. I wrongly presumed Russian, but I see the WH reference. A Kate fan too.
ReplyDeleteCan always count on you for a great Skywatch photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab shot B. It's a like a note on a music score.
ReplyDeleteV
Great moon!!
ReplyDeleteA lonely blues note.
ReplyDeleteHey great post and yes the moon appears to be hanging on the electrical wires (almost like its in a hammock : )
ReplyDeleteYou are making us all want to "lift every heart and sing....!" Great cloudless blue sky.
ReplyDeleteAwesome blue sky.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic Friday!
It seems trapped and tangled among the electrical wires.
ReplyDeleteMagical.
ReplyDeleteMagical.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful blues you have there. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat image looks like a shot of a cosmic volleyball game! What a glorious image, B... wow.
ReplyDeleteAnd am I ever gnashing my teeth over the blues festival. Sounds divine.
Moonstruck Blues! The perfect caption for your photo! Very great shot, but not everybody will see this like you do. I mean: you need to have an eye for it, probably two eyes. I enjoy reading your posts always, for they are witty, informative and British. When two Dutch people meet for the first time they start also talking about the weather;"Nice weather,isn't it?" "Yea, lovely, but yesterday it was cold... Well it's that time of the year.."" Yea you can't complain, actually"
ReplyDeleteHave a great SWF!
A work of art today B.
ReplyDeleteYou are very sharp (excuse the pun) with your titles and comments Babooshka - great work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking blue. Perfect for a day of the blues.
ReplyDeleteNice! We both have similarly-composed photos today!
ReplyDeleteBabooshka: I'd have to say you captured an electric blue today for the Moon to sit in.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to see the moon in daylight. You've framed it nice with the wires.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
I like your blue moon but it's the bluest sky that I love the most!
ReplyDeleteNice shot of the moon against the blue sky. I like the wires in the photo too.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that the owner of the hands checked out your blog!
ReplyDeleteLove the five wires and how the moon appears to be a note. This is a GREAT shot!
Nothing helps a photographer more than a well-behaved moon! Fabulous photo, and I love the blues festival photos, the colors are special as is your text. That's splendid that the saxophonist commented!
ReplyDeleteThese wires hanging in the air are really a noisance ! What a perfect blue sky !
ReplyDeleteYou put the moon behind bars for safekeeping! Very funny. Think he'll stay there and grow or just break out and continue his rounds?
ReplyDeleteAh look at that moon. It is barely visible! I like the way you presented this image. It focuses on the electric post and then ther's the moon!
ReplyDeleteWow...!Great shot!Very good photo for a SWF!Thank you for sharing!Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice blue sky shot. Happy Skywatch Friday!
ReplyDeleteInteresting composition. Thanks for visiting my blog
ReplyDeleteblue moon, Blue Moon
ReplyDeleteYou saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own..
love the song he he he :D
nice shot! it made me happy
and because of that happy weekend!!!
I will be more than happy to send you lots of rain and mist. We've had 10 consecutive days of rain - 12 will be the record. Unusual for Pennsylvania this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI'm ooohing and ahhhhing! It looks like it might be purple but hey what do I know!
ReplyDeleteAlways a treat for us Babooshka. Moon on a score at a music festival. You are so clever. See you at the TT, I hope.
ReplyDeleteI love it when the moon just barely shows itself to you. Great job capturing it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely moon :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend
Great moon! Sounds like you had perfect weather!
ReplyDeleteWonderful moon shot, great post. Fun having the musician contact you. Blogging is a great world.
ReplyDeleteWow, looks blue to me, Baboosh, and perfect for the "C" on your musical staff of wires. Fantastic coverage too this week on the blues festival. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the moon is playing the guitar strings of the power lines... the blues, of course! Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteClever way of connecting the moon and the "strings" and the blues! An entertaining post!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I will be waiting for more information about the musicians!
ReplyDeleteLéia
I'm thinking it's more like a moon as the key of C.
ReplyDeleteJust had to check in today and see if you'd been arrested -:) Watch out for Bobbie!
I did not believe that the British Isles allowed that color blue in the skies! A very proper sky for your music this week.
ReplyDeleteinteresting! the guitarist actually left a comment to tell you his was him. :)
ReplyDeleteYour moon plays a happy bass solo on those 4 strings. I´m deep in to music metaphors this week.:-)
ReplyDeleteThe moon looks like a note on the muscial scale, sort of jazzy. Glad you had one day of blue sky.
ReplyDeleteVery simple AND bluV
ReplyDeletePerfect Blue.....sssss
ReplyDeleteThe moon is a real cool cat plucking at the steel strings.
