Moon, Super or Not


I admit I'm confused about the date of the Super Moon. 
I've heard June 23, but then read where the best time to see it rise was last night, on the 22nd...

Does it really matter? What's one day?

So at dusk last night I ran up to our road with my camera to snap a few portraits of the full moon. 
I had time on my hands that would be gone this evening.

The golden moon had already risen above the treetops, but was still larger than it normally appears. 
It was at least semi-super, if not officially "Super".

My photos...not so super, 
but better than I expected after playing with them in Lightroom, 
so I'm sharing them with you!





"Be still, and know that I am God." ~ Psalm 46:10

That verse always comes to mind when I regard a full moon.

(Add your link in the comments if you captured the moon with your camera, too!)

  3. I went down to the water and watched it rise. It was beautiful... my photos didn't do it justice.

  5. You did a beautiful job! I particularly like the deep azure sky in the first photo. Double D and I gazed at it, but I did not attempt any shots.
