Once In A..

The Blue Moon officially arrived early this morning, ironically at moon set.  Though I think this evening's rise will be spectacular, I had to try to get the official timing right.  It was crystal clear and 70 degrees at 5:42 this morning with the sky just beginning to lighten.  The moon itself did not have any trace of a blue hue, but I loved seeing it peak through the trees and light the midnight blue color of the clear sky just prior to sunrise.  A rather auspicious start to the day.
