No..that's just me...oh well...
So this evening on my way home from picking up Bess from dance the blackness of the night was parted by the everyday sighting of the moon. But this wan't an everyday sighting of the moon. No. This evenings' moon was so huge and orange and beautiful that I just knew...this was going to be my picture of the day. Like the good photoblogger that I am, I did not have my nice DSLR camera with me in my car, nor did I feel the need to stop by the house and get it. I decided to settle with taking a picture with the good and user-friendly iPhone camera. That was the first mistake. I mean, have you ever seen a good picture of the moon taken with a phone? Second mistake...I was the one driving. So how was I planning of getting a picture of the moon without using my phone while driving? Good question. I decided it would be a good idea to drive down to the park to put the car in park to get a picture. Third mistake. Don't do that at 7:20 at night on a Friday night. Nothing bad happened! But there was a cop parked in said parking lot (to watch out for the local Bixby hooligans) so I couldn't stop there...that was probably a good thing now that I think about it. Not to mention that the moon had disappeared behind the trees by that street so it wouldn't have worked anyway.
Then the lovely and talented Bess mentioned how cool the road looked engulfed in darkness with only our headlights to part the black night.
Cue the actual picture that I ended up taking:

This photo was a group effort. Bess picked up my phone. Bess opened the camera. Bess placed the camera on top of the wheel. I pushed the big red button. Bess checked it to make sure it wasn't horrible.
To give Bess the credit that she deserves for her assistance I will add her quote that she recommended I use:
"The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone and I must follow if I can." ~JRR Tolkien
