Saturday was an absolutely beautiful day. The humidity was low, and the temperature was not too high. At least for here in the ATL. So it was perfect for viewing the perigree moon, or supermoon as non-pros like to call it.
My hubby had to work, so I went by myself to the park to do my moon viewing. We have so many trees here in the neighborhood that you can't really see anything unless it's way up high in the center of the sky, so off I went to a more open space. It was surprising to see so many folks there with cameras, waiting for the moon to rise so that they could enjoy it, and capture it with their cameras. Which, by the way, ranged from iPhones to huge, professional things with long lenses. Color me jealous.
Anyway, when I arrived at the park, the moon was already up and it was still daylight.

As I walked around the park, the sun set and the moon rose and I was in awe. It was a lovely evening. God's creation is always inspiring to me! When I was a kid, my dad bought us a telescope and taught us about the stars, showed us the constellations, and stayed up with us to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower from our backyard. I credit him with my love of science. This one's for you, Dad!
