FULL MOON

Orange you glad there's no clouds?  Illumination Night I

Illumination Night  II

                     "I'm back," smiles the Moon for the zillionth time.  But it never gets old especially over the ocean on a clear night just after sunset.  One of the bonuses of Fall is you don't have to stay out late to see it.  The down side is you freeze your tutu waiting on the chilly shore.  Clouds are the enemy of a good moonrise.   Then moon glow can't penetrate the gray(all 50 shades of it).  Finally the moon appears high in the sky above the clouds.  It's very white like a big light bulb.  The orange and gold is gone.  All that appears is white light.  Maybe next month or the one after that will be clear.  Until then old memories of golden super  moons or blue moons must be sufficient for the loonies or is it moonies of the world.
