Super Moon






Last night was the rare occurence of what is called 'super moon'. It is when the moon appears much larger and brighter than normal. Sunset in Casa Grande is at 6:58 p.m., so we were outside and ready for the moon to pop up over the horizon. Unfortunately, there were a few clouds, as you can tell from the pictures, but it was quite spectacular.
Now, we were unable to use the new camera, because we do not have a telephoto lens for it, so we used the old Sony with a zoom on it. Huge difference in the quality of pictures, as these are quite grainy, but at least we captued the moon!
Our daughter has returned from her San Fransisco trip, so we will finally be able to see her and visit for the next several days......of course she works fulltime, but we'll figure it out. I am excited about seeing her!
