Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon is the full Moon that occurs closes to the vernal equinox. Depending on how you count for you time zones, its either the 18th or the 19th. In my time zone, the time of the full Moon is slightly closer to the evening of the 18th so I am counting tonight. With that, here are a few pics of the Harvest Moon rising in Tucson.

I saw the moon this morning, peeking behind the storm clouds. It was huge and beautiful. Of course, we are flatlanders and have no mountains to frame the horizon.
