I find this such a huge coincidence. Last night I was flying over northern Saskatchewan and this full moon started to creep above the horizon. My first thought was of the post that Spotted_Mind had done with the picture of the moon so I snapped a few photos. Now you have to remember this picture was taken at 37,000 feet through heated windows that are about 1" thick, so the quality is horrible. But it just seemed so fitting that as Spotted_Mind was spending her last evening with Nigel that the moon that Spotted loves so much, chose to present itself... in it's fullness.

And as a tribute to Nigel too, I'd like to post a picture I took in Florida this past summer.

Our thoughts are with you, Spotted_Mind.

It's funny how people here on OS invade our thoughts and touch our lives...in a good way. :-)
I barely slept last night and spent most of it petting Nigel, watching him sleep and periodically going outside to smoke and gaze off at the sky...
Thank you for this.
*WSFTC and Nick... thanks. It was an amazing coincidence that the full moon was last night.
*JK and Owl... >
If you look at enough photos of the Moon you will see its "face." In your photo--see in the upper right side, the round circle/spot???
Fascinating. I've always wanted to see a series taken from the same spot progressively...
btw...great photos--especially the Moon from the airplane!
beautiful moon to remember Nigel by.
*skeletnwmn... Timing is everything. Or at least that's what my kids keep telling me.
Nice tribute! I hope Nigel is curled up in a sunny window in the afterlife right now, having a pleasant nap with my Isadora.
*Chicago guy... thanks. One of life's little coincidences.
*Shiral... That's all a kitty needs, huh? Oh... and maybe a bit of milk.
*Deborah... I think (s)he is.
*O'Really?... See? I keep telling everyone that the whole Brianna episode is so... passe. Is my halo tilting?
So lovely.
