Moon over Colorado
While driving to Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge on Colorado Highway 14 near Stove Prarie, I saw the moon above the ridgeline. I stopped at a rest area and took this image.

I was out in the backyard trying to get images of the birds wintering in New Jersey. I noticed a shadow, turned around and caught this turkey vulture flying past the moon.
