This afternoon was balmy, around 75 degrees, with a strong, warm wind from the south. I was engaged in some long-overdue leaf raking when I stopped to catch my breath and wipe my brow. When I looked up, I put down my rake, took off my gloves, went inside to get the camera and take this shot. I love to see the moon in the daytime! Photo was snapped just before 5 p.m.

beautiful capture
Oh Pat, I am so glad you interrupted your long over-due raking to share this magnificent shot with us. It looks like those wispy cirrus clouds are out to grab that crescent moon.
Beautiful shot!
This is really nice, guess I should go outside and check it out! It was a lovely day today wasn't it.
Great picture. Wow! 75 degrees how nice and warm and no snow. I so envy you.
Beautiful moon shot!
Blue sky, clouds and daytime moon, this is beautiful. Great shot, Pat! Thank you for stopping by my blog and left such a nice comment.
beautiful capture. happy weekend.
This shot is awesome, Pat. Well done!
Great picture for Sky Watch, Pat. I also love seeing the moon in the daytime.
Hugs,
Betsy
Great shot ...I love to see the moon in the daytime...nice blue sky too...
That's a coy moon peeping out to greet us.
Love how you captured the moon, it seems to be resting on the feathered cloud.
Lovely! Moon peeping to check on us on earth ...
Hi Pat, am glad you did not miss capturing the sky's moment. :)
Wish you a great week-end ahead!

Actually, I like the whispy clouds just as much as the moon...good job!

Ya done good, girl! Any pic with the moon is a-OK in my book!
FANTASTIC photo I love it! Happy swf!
I always think the moon seems more special when you see it during the day. In this shot, it looks like it's playing hide and seek with the clouds.
God catch, Pat. It must have felt great to be out in that warm sun!
We had the same weather as you today, but I think your sky was prettier. Our Spring wind was in full spring today.
I sure am glad you stopped raking long enough to get this shot. It's a beautiful capture of the moon in a blue sky.
Great shot...we had temps in the 60's today.
Under the same moon you and me...
Nice weekend from Anne in Norway.
Great shot, Pat. We were out on our afternoon walk about that same time when I looked up at the clouds and noticed the moon already high in the sky.
That was very well done - fitting at the edge of the clouds.
I love it when the moon is visible during the day, cool shot!
What a lovely and serene shot, so beautiful with the moon hovering over the clouds.
Great picture. I shot the same moon yesterday afternoon here in England, imagine that. Sadly it did'nt come out.
Nice catch! I love seeing the moon during the day, too.
Great capture of the moon peeking over the cirrus clouds.
Sounds like you had a beautiful day. It got warmer here also, but not that warm. Right now at 8:15 it is 55. Thanks for stopping by and wishing the Granddaughter a happy birthday. Hoping you have a terrific week-end.
Nice moon shot!
Just beautiful, Pat! Glad you took a break and looked up. Your warm temps sound heavenly. Happy SkyWatch!
So pretty! Love this shot!

Peek a boo moon. Great composition. Wonderful clouds. Perfect photo.

The Moon in the daytime is always great. The addition of the clouds is a nice touch. Blue sky.
Terrific photo.
thanks for the visit,
