Super Moon

Last evening cleared, unlike Saturday evening, and I waited after nine until around one AM in my sisters yard in town for the moon and any intersecting planes or birds. None came, well, two actually, birds that is, but I was too slow. So I reverted to my favorite cheat. I image overlaid the moon onto a long exposure of the trees in the VA parking lot. The moon would have been in that location around five AM, but I did not want to fight the mosquito's any longer.
I am trying to quit fighting. I stay so angry all the time with various things. Lately it has been with Facebook and the fellow photographers steady stream of amazing work. Then its the friends and their silence. One thing or another.
Aaron in the beginning of his sermon hit me on the head when he said, temptation can come in many forms, one being the temptation to pride and anger when one does not get the recognition he thinks he deserves. That is exactly what has driven me, a prideful attitude to garner likes and comments, and when they were not forth coming, an anger, a bitterness, a sense of failure.
Granted, most of my work and output lately has been off. Is it any reason? The focus is off.
