Super Moon!


The super 'perigree' moon on Saturday was as big as she's been in 18 years. I got a few neat shots the night before. I had the lighting on my camera set to 'tungsten' and got this shot that made her look blue.


Then, I eagerly awaited her appearance on Saturday night when she was at her fullest.
At first I had to drive out to meet her since she wasn't visable from my backyard.


She was an awesome shade of orange as she rose above the horizon.
Ever wonder why the moon is orange?


About 30 minutes later she was golden.


And then a beautiful silvery white before I went to bed.


I hope you had a chance to see the full perigree moon.
