Monday, Moonday in Camas, Washington

Who turned on the lights?

 

We all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun... 
- John Lennon

 

Last night, we both woke at about 2:00 AM wondering who turned on the lights. It turns out, mother nature did. A beautiful full moon flooded our bedroom with its warm glow. 

 

It's called the Full Worm Moon and it reached its peak at 1:48AM. Since it's a super-moon, it is 7% larger and 15% brighter than the average full moon. We can attest to its brightness.

 

The moon gets its name for this time of year when temperatures heat up the frozen ground, and earthworm casings start to reappear. The robins return too, pecking at the ground for a meal. 

 

Not wanting to prolong being awake, we passed on taking a photo during the wee early morning hours. However, I did get this shot at around 6:30 AM as Bernie made our coffee.

 



Happy Monday!

OK then -- 28 degrees calls for coffee inside; 50 degrees would be different!

I know Li Read it was exquisite. The photo we took, while it was still dark this morning, looks more like sunshine than moonshine.

Hi Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - Great shot! There is something special about watching the full moon rise.  I was hiking and watched the moon rise over the red rocks.  It took my breath away.

So, you were nudged by the Full Worm Moon soon after midnight. That super moon must have been very bright! Your photograph is just gorgeous! It was as if it was waiting for you to get up and for Bernie to make the coffee. I'm glad you enjoyed it too. 

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD  may the super moon give you super energy to accomplish more than you hoped for today.

I love all your photos and video so I finally looked on the map to see where Camas is. Right down there by Oregon - do you a dual license? Is Portland where you go when you want big city stuff?

Hi ya Debb!  Love the early morning pic (while Bernie was making coffee).  I've often thought it would be fun to dance by the light of the moon ;-)

Hi Debb and Bernie= well I slept right through it. If I had gotten up to take any photos, I'm sure I would have then been awake for hours. I think your early morning photo is just as beautiful!!!!

Good morning Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - That certainly is a site to see.  Because of trees I have to go outside to see it.

Wow, I guess I missed it, but that is really cool.  I had no idea that the moon could shine that bright.

I slept through it, Debb and Bernie.  I still like John Lennon's quote though, especially with that picture.

Debb, that must have been gorgeous.  I have blackout drapes in my bedroom, but still wake in the middle of the night.
