Super(b) Moon

Did you happen to catch a glimpse of the supermoon this weekend?

Astronomy Picture of the Day posted an amazing moon over the Parthenon:

If you missed the kagillion articles about it, the moon was full at the same time as it was closest to the earth. SO. It made for quite a large moon! (And lots of new babies, but that's another story!)

Friends told me it was absolutely gorgeous in Seattle.

I went out to catch it, but alas, we're just south and there was too much haze (and trees) on the horizon to see it rise from our viewpoint.

So instead, I stayed out in the cool night to take some pictures of our neighbor's cherry tree in the moonlight and listen to the peeper frogs in the distance.

What was your view like?

Check out some more awesome shots of the Supermoon (love the last one there)! Makes you wish they came around more, eh?
