Full Moon Rising

Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty

Full Moon Rising over Wells BeachSometimes I think we forget just how incredibly beautiful our little part of the world is. 

Have you ever seen the full moon rising over the ocean? Seen the incredible moon beam reflecting over the water?

Recently we drove up to Wells Maine to meet up with our friends Bill and Nada Marth.

They were on their way home from Bar Harbor Maine and decided on an overnight in Wells.

We had an early dinner at Billy’s Chowder House, a favorite of theirs and while we knew it was a full moon we never expected to see what we saw.

Timing is everything… when we finished dinner we noticed the moon rising over by the beach. Jay immediately took out his camera.

It was AWESOME to see so we took a quick ride down to the beach.

It was so majestic it took my breath away and I almost started crying from the beauty of it. 

 I can honestly tell you I have never seen a sight like it.

 My camera does not do well in low light so my pictures aren't all that great and nothing compares to the real deal.  But I wanted to share a little of it with you.

Funny but in real life that moon was huge and so red...in the photos it looks like a little dot. 

 Wells Beach Maine is only about an hour north of our home in Hampstead New Hampshire and it is an ideal day trip.

I think that is why I love living in Southern New Hampshire...so much to do and see. 

Lots of people were milling about that night all of them marveling at the sight  of the full moon rising.

Jay and I tried to take a picture of ourselves and the moon. Thankfully Jay has long arms, it must have been funny to see us posing and trying to snap a picture. LOL!


Finally, our friend Bill came down to water and took a picture of us standing on the beach with that beautiful moon right between the the two of us.

I love memory making!

Jay and Monica, it's a wonderful thing to be able to appreciate the present - especially when you have someone to share it with! 

Your photos were excellent, even if you didn't get exactly what you wanted.  I wonder if a zoom lens would have captured more size and detail of the moon?

A zoom and a flash maybe. I just have  a little Cannon and Jay's camera is not much better.

I'd love to invest in a better camera as I was so disappointed by the results of mine! Thanks for stopping by.

Good grief !! 

How can you do this to normal folks.

Ocean, Chowder House, beach?????? 

Oh well.  At least I have a mountain view if I go a few miles west.  Not real mountains, about 3,500 feet above sea level max.  But, it's very nice.

Love the ocean.  Love the ocean.

Hey Jay and Monika - love those pictures, and a camera just never really captures what we see with our own eyes anyway. But, you do have the memories and what you saw yourselves no matter the picture. We saw that same moon that night, not quite the same angle as you, but beautiful nonetheless. And living where we do in southern NH really is pretty awesome - ocean, mountains, nature's beauty all around us, and people we love to share it with - it doesn't get much better than that, does it?? Love these pics!! Ann

Ann...I must get a new camera! I miss so many perfect shots because of the limitations of my camera.

That moon was something to see. I could not believe how big and red it was...just awesome!

Linda...Magical is right on and yes very romantic! 

Joe...Thanks it really was very nice and a memory to last a lifetime.

The is a flip side to everything. When I saw a full moon during my high school teaching days, I knew there would be some wild goings on in school that day.

The world is indeed a beautiful place and we should take time to stop and look at it far more often than we do. Maui is my particular favourite place.
