Waiting for the Supermoon

I was looking for the moon too early,
 but I caught the sunset from the church on 27th East and Ft. Union. 

We should have driven out to the salt flats like last time.

The mountains block the moon from being visible for about an hour after moonrise.

My daughter joined me on the wait.

It took a while to figure out exactly where the moon would rise. 

Once we did, we sat on the sidewalk in front of our house.

If only my camera could capture what our eyes could see.

It was definitely bigger, brighter, and more beautiful than usual.
