BLUE MOON, FULL MOON

In the clouds

In the clear

Blue moon, full moon, red moon, green moon
Tonight we see the bright light
Of the rare moon of many names.
Go out, scout, and tout with a shout
The blue, full, sturgeon, red, corn, grain moon.

My pictures are not the greatest, but they are my pictures.

Here's what it's all about.

FULL MOON

 

Great ball shining bright 
Rolling on dark night's ceiling 
Sun's light brings to earth

MOONSTRUCK

 

The picture above shows the nearly-full moon in daylight the other evening.

Seldom-seen sighting
Daylight and moon together
Viewers delighting

Below is the full moon last night.

 

Great ball shining bright
Rolling on dark night's ceiling
Sun's light brings to earth

Not great pictures by any stretch of the imagination, but I post them because I am moonstruck. I should buy a better quality camera, if I want to take moon pictures.

JUST IN...

 

...from howling at the full moon...

FULL MOON

Cloud-streaked moon in full
Werewolf howling noisily
Beneath glowing orb

Sorry. My picture does not show the clouds.

'SUPERMOON' SATURDAY NIGHT

From Live Science:

Thanks to a fluke of orbital mechanics that brings the moon closer to Earth than that it has been in more than 18 years, the biggest full moon of 2011 will occur on Saturday, leading some observers to dub it a "supermoon."

On Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the moon will arrive at its closest point to the Earth in 2011: a distance of 221,565 miles (356,575 kilometers) away. And only 50 minutes earlier, the moon will officially be full.

At its peak, the supermoon of March may appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than lesser full moons (when the moon is at its farthest from Earth), weather permitting. Yet to the casual observer, it may be hard to tell the difference.
