Actually, the day before the Harvest Full Moon, I was upstairs in my house and looked out the window at 9:30 pm. The ring of color was glowing through the trees. Immediately I grabbed paper, pastels, a light to view my work, a chair and set up in the driveway to get a clear view of the moon. Colored paper set the tone and I worked quickly as the mackerel sky was set to change. The moon was covered several times by spidery black clouds and the luminescent glow in the ring continued to change shapes. What a magical 40 minutes.
