It was clear here, and the moon was beautiful. We don't have an unobstructed view either, but I could watch it through the tree branches. It DID look bigger than usual, almost like you could reach out and touch it. Now it's Spring!!

Jeez, and I was excited about my white lychnis. Just beautiful and haunting!

Yes, Marlene. I remember each of us made a special ornament and sent to Sylvia when she had cancer surgery. (and thankfully she is healthy and doing great). I made a purple moon ornament ;o), and did the words "I see the Moon and the Moon sees me, God bless the Moon and God Bless Me" along the moon in small print. Sylvia loved her little tree and had it in her kitchen area I think after she got home. Neat you remembered that! And neat idea if we could come up something special for Lynne from us!! any ideas, anyone? I just can't believe all the complications she's had from the surgery and all these months in the hospital. She got such a short time back at home, then everything just went bad. Her husband is a rock, and a blessing to her. I know its has been so hard on him too. I keep sending prayers daily for both of them. hugs, Karen

Thanks KT! Pusswillows are more of a cooler climate shrub or tree. For good details on moon I used my birding lens, a 70 - 200 mm IS and a 2X converter, which brings it up to 400 mm, of coarse a larger zoom, like 600 or 800 mm would be better but these lenses are about 3 X more money. Konrad
