PERIGEE MOON

It took a while for it to get over whatever horizon it was rising from. I was looking for it since 7:00pm. I gave up. Comfortably lounging in bed in my pj's reading, I knew this moon was out there. It called. So I traded in the comfort of my pj's for the comfort of my sweats around 10:30pm, and there behind the tree branches...it was well worth trading the comfort.

These are the first shots I've ever taken of the moon and they were a joy of an experiment. Though the real experiment was working all the functions of the camera in the dark. I knew it better than I thought.

This is the moon at perigee, it's shortest distance from the earth.
