Welcome Spring with the Super Moon!

The "Super Moon" as it arose on the horizon.  It's dark, but you can kinda make out the playhouse in the foreground.  The kids were excited to see it so bright orange and large as it came up.  Click on that link to see a comparison photo & explanation of why it's called super.
