Why yes, the girl standing in the middle of the street in her jammies taking pics of the supermoon was me!
While I took these pics I kept hearing Michael Jackson’s Thriller in my head (“It’s close to midnight, and something evil’s lurking in the dark!”).
Thankfully, I did not encounter any werewolves/werecats/creepy creatures while I was out there… Not this time. 🙂

Hafsa says
nice shot! It was too cloudy on my end to see anything unfortunately : /
but I love this shot!
Karen says
Hi, Hafsa. I hope it clears up there. It should be about the same size and brightness tonight, so maybe you’ll still get a chance.
With the starburst effect it looks very sun-like, doesn’t it?
Rads says
So many people walked up to us and asked us what’s special about the moon cos we were taking so many photos…couldn’t believe for once I knew something others didn’t 😀 😀
Karen says
Hi, Rads! It was pretty late when I went out to snap these, so I don’t think anyone saw me. I even took Tabs out for a minutes to check it out because I don’t know the last time he’s seen a supermoon. Probably back when he was an outdoor kitty a few years ago.
I love the supermoon pic you posted on your blog. It almost looks like a painting. So vivid, and the contrast between the sepia moon and the blue sky looks amazing!
Hope you’re having a good weekend so far.
Rads says
Thanks, Karen! We did a bit of youtube searching on how to get the moon just right and made sure we caught the moon just as it was out..apparently that helps it look larger 😀
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
Such cool photos, Karen! Looks almost bright as the sun!
Karen says
Hi, Sunny! The sky was so bright last night I bet I could have read a magazine out there without any extra lights.
What are you up to this weekend? I hope you’re doing something fun.

It was horribly overcast here last night so I failed miserably to get some good shots of the supermoon despite my best intentions.
Marian says
Nice shots! I wanted to see it so much but it was too cloudy here. : (
marisol says
Awesome! I didn’t get a chance to see it last night.

I didn’t know about this, but it was too cloudy anyway, I wouldn’t have seen it. 🙁
