Moon Rise

  I saw that super moon! The sun had just set, and the moon crept over the mountains on the eastern horizon. We stood on the beach, and it was a really low tide, miles of extra sand instead of waves. There were 3 different bonfires along the beach. We were on the far west side, looking to the east. The moon was huge. It was orange. It was rising pretty fast. I always love how it transforms as it goes. Starting low, big, and yellowish and getting smaller and whiter as it climbs into the sky. We met some friends on the beach, it was amazing. Standing there, looking at the trail of the moon in the wet sand, and then in the water. It was a moment stolen in time. There are a lot of those here in Samara. So Ron and I decided to walk across the 100 yards to the ocean, following the path of reflected moonlight. We walked right in to the water. The view of the moon playing in the clouds, and the light it cast - it was a sight to behold. What a night. Have you ever stood in the sea energized by the full moon, with the person you love? There is nothing like it!!
