Clematis Looks at the Moon

Yes. I caught this clematis blossom gazing up at the moon. You can see it in the upper left. It is a moon midway between quarter and full, as it appeared on Sunday evening May 23.

Love the photo.

Has anyone noticed that many clematis blooms open at night?

That picture was a chance thing. I just noticed that there was a obround object in my image. I then went back out and tried to duplicate it while the moon was still out. I took about fifty more exposures, trying to do it again. No luck. I couldn't get the up-angle of the camera right, probably because the moon had moved. I might try again tonight. I am using a Sony DSC-V1 digital camera. It is very capable at low light and night photography in the macro mode. You can still find them in the after-market. It's a great little camera. I highly recommend it.
