Tonight's full moon is special. It's been 18 years since we had a full moon like this one. The moon is actually closer to earth, making it appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual. I went out as it was rising...
...and a couple hours later...
Beautiful.

You got some great photos! It does look amazing!
Beautiful photos, Klyee. I was out on the morraine, camera in hand, but it was too cloudy. No moon. :(
Thanks for sharing!
Wow! I've been working on some photos and none of them came out anything like these! Gorgeous!
meemsnyc ~ Thanks! Doesn't it? The white spot at the lower right looks like a navel on a navel orange to me. LOL. (It's actually Crater Tycho, I believe.)
Chris ~ Oh, darn! I KNOW you'd have some fabulous photos, too! :-(
Jan ~ Thanks, Jan! I can't wait to see yours!
Great photos! Thanks for sharing. I'm a new follower of your blog. Beautiful garden and awesome cat pics. I love cats and my kitty is spoiled. Have a great weekend!
Stunning!
Which camera did you use?
So beautiful, Kylee. I got so ready for last night: the clouds moved from the west, but then settled to the east. :(
In the UK the press were calling this 'A Super Moon' - which judging by your photos it really was. I only managed to see it when it was high in the sky, and it wasn't nearly so impressive.
