Nature and neon can make quite an impression when the camera gets in creative hands
Once in a blue moon, you get a photo like this. Pedernales EC’s Faith Rasche-Neely took it near San Marcos on September 1—actually the day after a blue moon—still rare. One definition of blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month, which happened August 31. The other full moon was August 1. The next blue moon will be July 31, 2015.

If people gazed up at the stars each night, I bet they would live life differently. There is something so ethereal and majestic about a beautiful night sky and a world bathed in moonlight. It can tug at the very strings of one’s soul. For those of you who only come out at night, thank you.
