Night time photography | Did we miss Thanksgiving?

Over the past few days, we've had somewhat clear skies and an almost full moon. As it's been cool enough to keep the windows open, we've also been able to air the house out. The only challenge is that the mosquitos are still in full force. 

However, I was able to take some post-Halloween creepy-esque photos of the cloud coverage over the moon. Why stop being scared on November first? 

All photos were taken on an iPhone 11 and "edited" in Photoshop. I added my name and erased some identifying information (in one of the latter pictures). 

I think the playground photos came out kind of cool, for the moon hiding behind the clouds. I was too lazy to get my Canon out and hook everything up, otherwise I would have gotten some better shots of that lunar satellite when the sky cleared. Therefore, the phone pictures took "night photos" - whatever special filter the iPhone has in the camera to take low light imagery. 

Although, when you're driving past a house where the owner are on the force, you have to be careful when you take your photo.

I saw the Christmas lights from the intersection and decided to go do a drive by.

Little did I realize the owner was outside putting everything up, hence the reason the cruiser is in the street and the other car in the driveway. I didn't want to get arrested for slowing down and taking a picture.

Try explaining that type of reasoning when you're asked to get out of your car and put your hands on the hood.

This is also why I said I edited out pivotal information - the cruiser's plates and car number. 

We just finished with Halloween; we haven't had Veteran's Day. Can we at least celebrate Thanksgiving before the holiday lights go up?

When I told my mother the transient parcel of the community are already putting their end of year stuff up, she thought that it's a little too early and the master board documents prohibited this from happening. She had asked a friend who lives in another parcel of the community when they're allowed to seasonally decorate, and the friend said that Christmas stuff can't go up until the day after Thanksgiving. Therefore, the houses I saw are jumping the gun. 

I probably could get better pictures once the holiday is in full bloom, because like I said, the owner was currently putting this out and I didn't want to have to answer questions. We're having issues in our community as it is, and when each parcel has a couple houses full of people on the force (or EMT / EMS), you be careful with what you do. I'm sure they don't mind photos, but they don't want themselves or their vehicles shared. So semi blurry and edited photos it is, for a start...?

That's about it for updates for now. Thought I'd share some photos and such before anything else happens. 

Until we get to the next big thing, stay okay!

Cheers;
