When the news reports came out that the moon was to be super-sized in appearance this weekend, I rousted out my trusty tripod and the more powerful of my two cameras and headed out to practice night photography. I live about a ten-minute walk from the Severn River, which is east of my house, so I walked toward the river to see what I could do. It turns out my camera is just not powerful enough to do justice to that moon, but I had fun anyway. These were my best shots, and one of them is not even of the moon! It seems people down that way have a penchant for lighting their trees at night. Poor trees must be very confused, but the effect is pretty.

I was trying out a new-to-me tripod, and I like it better than my old one.
The moon is not to be this large, at least in appearance, until 2028. By then I may be too old to care, but I surely enjoyed it this time.
