November Super Moon

If you have checked out even a few of my posts, you may have noticed that I have an affinity for photographing the sky. The heavens are constantly changing but always a subject of beauty...a canvas for God's greatest art.

However somehow I almost forgot that this past Sunday, November 13, was the date for another supermoon. But not just any supermoon...this one was THE supermoon that was to be larger than any since 1948! Luckily Bob reminded me. When I went online to check the moon rise time I was shocked to learn that the moon was scheduled to rise at 4:52 pm...the exact current time!

I grabbed my coat and camera and drove to the western side of the lake where I could get an unobstructed view. The timing was perfect. The enormous, orange ball was just rising over the tree tops on the opposite side of the lake.


The fall day was unseasonably warm and I sat at the edge of the water snapping continuously as the moon climbed higher in the sky. Here are a few of the images I captured that evening. Enjoy! The next time the moon will come this close to earth is the year 2034!!
