super moon!

did you get to see the super moon on saturday night?  it was beautiful!


tanky & i went on a wild goose chase to find it.  as it turns out, you cannot see the horizon due east in downtown birmy.  so we headed to the railroad park.  although it was a beautiful evening with tons of people there, you still cannot see the horizon due east at the railroad park.

so next stop was the tallest place i know in birmy - vulcan!  we drove up to vulcan & walked to the highest point, & due east of us...was another mountain & trees.  jimminy christmas.

but vulcan at night is really, really pretty...


& as my dad pointed out, he was "mooning" me on this evening.  haha.  dad joke, dad joke.


downtown birmy is also really pretty at night...



as i was about to hop back in the car to drive around the mountain blocking my view, i saw the super moon!  due east was a different direction than i had thought.  windy roads.  definitely nothing to do with my sense of direction :)

i only had my iphone, so i was unable to capture any of the magnificence of it.  but the moon was huge!  & very glowy.  & it was framed between two big trees from where i was standing.


some clouds rolled in & started to cover it in slivers, making it look all the more magical.


i do hope you got to see the super moon.  as my dad pointed out, the next time it happens, we will all be old.  thanks, dad.

love love,
kjp.
