Snow Moon Risin'

Snow Moon Risin’

Journaling reads:  According to almanac.com, the February full moon is called Snow Moon because of “the typically heavy snowfall that occurs in February.  On average, February is the United States’ snowiest month, according to data from the National Weather Service.”

Photos taken:

First photo taken at 7:30 p.m. while the moon was low on the horizon.

Second photo taken at 8:00 p.m. while the moon was still behind the tree line.

Third photo taken at 8:30 p.m. while the moon was almost above the tree line.

Fourth photo taken at 9:00 p.m. after the moon cleared the tree line.

Quote reads: 

The Moon, like a flower

In heaven's high bower,

With silent delight

Sits and smiles on the night.

–William Blake (1757–1827), English poet

I blended an element into the fourth moon to give it the appearance of “a man in the moon”

I used all of the artsy layers of the template for the photo mask
