Full Moon Rising

One of the great things about living on the east coast of the United States is the monthly opportunity to watch the full moon rise over the Atlantic ocean. This event is especially spectacular when it happens during the twilight hours and the sky is still bright from the sun. The image of the Moon Rise below was taken at Red Reef Park in Boca Raton. The near shore rocks are part of the chain of rock clumps that make up the man-made reef.

People are drawn to these slightly supernatural feeling occurrences. The beaches often fill with moon-gazers, beach chairs and snacks in hand, waiting for the moon to begin its slow ascent into the night sky.

Tonight there was an especially beautiful Moon Rise that will likely be followed by an equally amazing encore tomorrow night. Let the Moon's magic draw you in, visit the beach tomorrow and enjoy the free show!!
