    Even though I assume you live near me or I live near you...
    The moon I saw was not that big ? ? ? I love your shots better than mine but I did have fun playing with the settings on my new camera.

    cheers, parsnip

    The closer you view it to the horizon, the bigger it looks. :)

    Diane, these are awesome. I love the cactus in the shots. I didn't get to see the moon here...too many clouds out my way. Beautiful.

    Gorgeous, Diane. You are in a perfect place to see it. We couldn't see it on the horizon due to our mountains...

    Love the one with the cactus in front... NEAT.
    Hugs,

    I read about this in the papers. then I forgot about it in the night. It's great that you captured this supermoon. Love your pics... so obvious. And I can see why they say said that the moon will look bigger than usual.

    wow, love all the photos Diane, though I am so jealous with the saguaro in the foreground, we don't have saguaro here. Anyway, your supermoon shots really showcased the majestic supermoon.

    Goodness, these are SO beautiful! The full moon rose over our valley here in Switzerland as well, but I haven't such a good lens and my moon pictures never turn out like this. I love these. Thank you for sharing!
