The Moon

The moon was totally amazing in the wee hours of this morning. It shone like a spotlight through the trees. The brilliance was astounding. Looking at it reminded me of a Nursery Rhyme I had read to our children. I see the Moon and the Moon sees me great memories. The Harvest Moon of 2006 is a big one--almost 12% wider than some full Moons we've seen earlier this year. Why? Because the Moon is near perigee, the side of the Moon's lopsided orbit that comes closest to Earth.
