Two weeks ago, on June 14, we had the “Super Moon,” so designated because of the moon’s close proximity to earth. There will be another on July 13. Now that we’re in-between, it might be fun to remember:

The picture on the left was made with my iPhone the night before the actual full moon. The orange glow was caused by the haze from the western forest fires. Yes, it’s the moon, not the sun. The picture on the left is the actual super moon shot through our trees with a bit of cloud below.

I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewelry, Moon and stars mounted in their settings. Then I look at my micro-self and wonder, Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way? (Psalm 8.3, 4, MSG)
