Project 366...

The drive to work this morning was surreal. Even though light fog hovered just above car level most of the way, the sky was perfectly clear, and I could have driven without the ONE headlight because the moon was just that bright. Once in a while a halo of fog would appear around the moon, but it barely dimmed the orb. Unbelievable beautiful! I wish I could have captured the true beauty with the camera.

This morning's moon (technically it's tonight's) is known as a Hunter's Moon - the first full moon after the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox. I learned all this years ago but was reminded Saturday night when I watched Star Gazer on PBS about what to look for in the sky during the coming week. I'm glad I did, but there'd have been no way to miss this gorgeous sight.

Now we get to anticipate Beaver Moon. :D

Beautiful! Very Halloween, too.

I love moon pictures.

That would make an awesome icon! Gorgeous!

I purposely maneuvered the moon behind a tree at school for the Halloween effect. ;)

I love BIG, BRIGHT moons. There is something else I'm supposed to watch for in the next few days, but I've forgotten what now. I guess I'll remember when I see it. LOL!

Speaking of icons...I LOVE yours! :D

Thanks, Allie. It was sooooo bright this morning. Yesterday there was some cloud cover so it wasn't quite as spectacular. I love a full moon...except for what it does to the kids at school. LOL!

I can't see it yet because of all the trees around me. :( I think it's supposed to be even brighter tonight. That'll really be something! :D

Say--Is that the shadow of a witch on her broom crossing the moon? Wooooo!

You're so right about the effect of the full moon on the kids at school!

muahahahahahaha! :D

The best thing about today is that it is an early dismissal day for kids (we have staff development). I'll only have to deal with them for half a day. :D

I see the moon,
The moon sees me
God bless the moon,
And God bless me.

I haven't looked out yet this morning, but I hope the moon is still big and bright. :D
