Brian, aka Bushboy, posted his monthly Last on the Card prompt, where he asks us to…
- Post the last photo from your camera’s SD card or the last photo from your phone taken in the month of April.
- No editing — who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like, or the subject matter didn’t cooperate?
- No explanations needed — just the photo will do.
- Create a pingback to Brian’s post or link in the comments.
- Tag “The Last Photo.”
I’ve actually got three photos to share, all taken with my iPhone late yesterday afternoon. This first one was taken at around 3:00 pm. My wife and I were in our front yard and suddenly I heard my wife scream as she was pointing to the ground. When I looked to see what she was pointing at, I saw this:
There, lying in the pine needles and mulch, was a dead rat, but only recently deceased. Maybe he was taken down by one of the neighborhood cats.
Then my wife and I went into our backyard and sat down in the swinging chairs on our deck. It was about 4:30 pm and I looked up and saw a pale moon in the sky, barely visible among the wispy clouds, and I took this photo:
If you squint and look hard, you may be able to see the moon horizontally in the center of the photo and vertically a little below center. But thinking that you might not be able to clearly see the moon, I took another photo around a minute after the one above, cropped it, and played around with the brightness, contrast, and a few other settings to come up with this photo below:
It shows the moon, which appears to be floating just above a sea of billowy clouds. I thought this slightly retouched photo looked interesting, so I decided to include it.
This, That, and the Other 
I love the moon photo!

Very good Fandango. I don’t know why people scream at dead rodents, it doesn’t resuscitate them. I took a Moon photo with wispy clouds myself this afternoon. Love the enhanced one. Thanks for joining in 🙂 🙂

Most cats will bring their prey back home with them to show their owners what great hunters they are. The moon is perfectly framed in both of your pictures.

Thanks, Jim. Maybe something scared the cat off, like a big raccoon.

Lovely moon shot. I would dispose of the rat pdq in case it was poisoned.

The last photos were taken by Garry at a good friends’ funeral and I didn’t think they were the right subject for this.
