Supermoon

This weekend we had a supermoon.  Did you have one too?  I'm not sure exactly what a supermoon is - it was much bigger than normal, but there was no cape or anything.


We all went to the hill in the nearby park to watch the moon rise.  At first I took lots of pictures of the moon disappearing and then reappearing behind some clouds.  




Then it struck me how much the dandelion puffs looked like little moons all over the hill and I spent ages taking pictures of puffs and the moon.  













Now that's my idea of a fun Saturday evening.

  1. I didn't even notice the moon this weekend! I wonder if it was visible here. I've seen a giant moon a couple of times. It's surreal!

  10. I saw the moon in my Old Ky. Home. I read it is called a Perigee moon. Closer to the earth that usual. Very creative photo of the person with the hands up. Wish I had thought of that.

  12. Oh I worked and worked at moon pictures for over an hour last night. Nothing worked until I was walking past my kitchen window and decided to take that shot. It didn't come out great, but it was better than the 58 others! I love the one in the center and the moon with the dandelions is completely inspired! Great job!!

  20. Your Super Moon images are fabulous. I particularly liked the image of you framing the moon in your hands. We saw it and were awed. I got some photos, but none as wonderful as yours.

  22. It was indeed a super moon, and your photos are lovely. We have an demilune window above a bay window in our bedroom, and it looked like the Supermoon was coming right into our bedroom. I called the boys up to see it, and they agreed that it looked so close and large. Really neat.
