Blue Moon over Scottsdale

A blue moon is not as rare as old wives' tales imply, as it occurs every 2.7 years (next one is July 31, 2015).  Here the moon isn't as blue as the blue uplighting on the palm trees at the Shops at Gainey Ranch  which bring an eerie glow to the geometrically sculpted trees.  This year for the blue moon, remember our first moonwalker, Neil Armstrong by looking at the moon and giving a wink. ( Remember Neil)  Thanks to Neil and NASA, the moon is not as mysterious as it once was, but it is still a marvel to behold.
