Well, the moon did show up, and if I'd stayed at the Viewpoint, I think I might have been able to get a shot of the moon and trees together, but I was busy working on two Klatch paintings, and once I'd noticed the moon, it was too high in the sky for that sort of shot. So I just took photos of the moon and the clouds. Now I haven't mentioned--or if I have, it was just once--that my camera has been having a problem focusing. So I'm sorry--the moon is out of focus. And somehow, this problem is linked to a problem with exposure lengths. My photo of the moon shows no detail on the surface of the moon, but at least I have an approximate record of how the sky looked last night.

It's full moon tonight. Judging from the mixture of clouds and clear areas, it should be a good show.

I met three guys from Germany at the Viewpoint today. They'd been to Bruce Lee's grave across the street. They sat on a bench and stared into the distance for a long time. One of them was looking at a map. I struck up a conversation with them and learned that they were from Nuremberg and that they're working on a project here. The German name for Nuremberg is Nürnberg.

I had no time for anything today. It's the full moon tonight, but I haven't found it yet. Last night I could see it, behind a thick veil of clouds.
