Golden waning gibbous moon 
Now rising higher

    1. Nice, Marthe.

      The moon was gorgeous last night. I love to see the early moonrise with the golden hue.

  2. A couple of nights ago, I thought it was San Francisco Giants orange...

    ...but the Giants have been playing so sucktastically of late, I must have been mistaken [Good thing there are Real Life Things (DOMA/PropH8 Adios!) to celebrate, when my baseball distraction fails me. ;-/]

    1. The higher the moon rises, the whiter it seems to become, at least according to my observations. The moon appears orange and gold when it's low in the sky.
