La Luna Più Piccola

Full moon rising
So last night was the first Full Moon of 2014
& also the smallest of the year.
The day had been mostly cloudy & wet,
but it broke to give an unexpected sunset
before twilight turned to night and
we waited for the moon to rise above
Leila's Mountain.

Evening moon

And when it did, it truly shone.  Even at midnight, it
was bright as day outside - that's the joy of no light 
pollution.

Midnight
Then when I got up at 6 am, it was hanging above
Monte Licosa, still glowing & being totally stunning
to look at.
