Last night as I was heading to bed I saw the big white full moon outside our bathroom window to the east. I decided it would be a good night to sleep with the blinds open to let some moonglow shine on me.

When the alarm went off at 6 am - I groaned but rolled over and look out the window (to the west now) and there was the beautiful full moon. I read that the April moon is the "Pink Moon" because of the wild phlox that bloom early (not around here - I won't see my phlox till July). But it was a beautiful moon and I was reminded I need to study my camera manual to see if I can get better moon shots. Makes me a little sorry I sold my 35mm when I see these sights.

This picture does not do it justice but gives you an idea - think of the moon much bigger and closer as you look at the picture. Hope you got to see it...if not I'm happy to share my view.
