Once in a blue moon ..

 
A big fat full moon again tonight .. a super blue moon, no less!
 
Super - since it's so close to the Earth at the moment and blue because it's the 2nd full moon in a month!  Pretty rare and very cool.
 
Since we're solidly in middle age apparently and instead of going down the pub, fell asleep on the sofa, I got to shoot some pics from the back garden.  Bottom is just a max zoom - 400mm x 1.6 tele-convertor and cropped - on tripod with 10 second timer (looks like cable release is tucked away in wedding photo bag).
 
Top photo is our black cat, Bertie, a huge (7.5 kilo) rescue Bombay, doing his best to eclipse the moon, whilst sat on a shed roof, watching the bats and critters rustling below.
