Canon PowerShot SD600

Being that it was our first day back home after our trip to Germany, I was tired. I had gone to work a full day, making me a little bit cranky by the end of the day, and everything was pretty much still packed into suitcases, including my camera.

So after unloading the groceries from my car, I set up my tripod and camera and trudged outside into the cold to "shoot the moon." Needless to say, I didn't go back and choose my original photo from this morning over the moon shot. :-)
