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!)

I see the (super) moon... the (super) moon sees me.

Saturday night, we climbed to the top of a nearby hill to face the Super Moon. 

Nothing between us but a valley and a bit of the lake.

I wish we'd arrived in time to catch its arrival, when it first poked its orange face up above the horizon. 

I wish I'd remembered my tripod.

I wish I could have stayed there all night.

Moon glow reaches out, 

touches my shoulder, 

reassures me that even when darkness falls,

the sun is still shining.
