The Sturgeon Moon

Lura Kay called tonight to tell me the moon was supposed to look spectacular, on account of being in a closer circuit to earth than usual.  So I took some pictures from our back deck.  It’s called the ‘Sturgeon Moon’ (sometimes ‘Supermoon’). 

The photos aren’t very good... a little blurry.  I should’ve set the camera on ‘Timer’, so that my finger didn’t cause vibration when I pressed the shutter button.  By the time I downloaded my pictures to my computer, the moon was quite a bit higher in the sky, so I didn’t bother trying again.  But the moon will be extra close a couple more times this fall, so maybe I’ll get another chance.
