The second full moon of August
Slightly more than 1 hour before the moon reached its fullest, Bear and I went down the road home in the Jeep to watch that nearly full moon set over a just cut wheat field. It was 45F: cool, clear and beautiful.
I was almost 14 when Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon and today his life is to be remembered. When the moon is full and large on the horizon, it seems further away and harder to get to than when small and high in the sky. It was an incredible time when man walked on the moon and what an adventure – even for me, watching safely from earth. To see not only the moon, but the photos of earth from the moon: a different perspective.
The last day of August 2012: the second full moon. Happy Friday!
