It took a while for the full super moon to make it above the clouds late this afternoon. Mt. Baker is just visible at the left in this iPhone photo from the west side of Oak Harbor.

November Full Moon

The top photo was taken November 25 and the bottom one the night before.

I knew from The Photographer's Ephemeris app (a free app) that the moon was not rising near any mountains. The top photo is from where I live while the bottom one is from the west side of Oak Harbor, looking toward the Cascade foothills.

The moon rose near Mt. Pilchuck as seen from Oak Harbor on May 3. There was haze on the horizon and the moon became clearly visible only when it was this far above the horizon.

Easter Eve Moonrise

The full moon rise over the Cascades the evening before Easter. I was so interested in the moon I did not even notice the aircraft, and their red blinking lights, to the left of the moon.

Predawn Moonrise

About 6:30 am yesterday morning. The moon appearing as a waning crescent to the south of Mt. Pilchuck, from Oak Harbor.

Super Moonrise

The super moon was hazy tonight, seen through the smoke from the eastern Washington forest fires.

I was on the west side of Oak Harbor as the moon rose over Oak Harbor Bay.

It soon hit a patch of thicker smoke.

Here are additional shots of the super moon as it rose tonight.

July 12 Moonrise

This is the moonrise from last night, as seen from SW Founders Place, on the west side of Oak Harbor. To the left on the horizon is Mt. Pilchuck. In the foreground are Oak Harbor Bay and Maylor's Point.

Knowing the compass heading in advance, I had driven around earlier in the day trying to find a location where the moon would rise next to a notable object. I found nothing extraordinary so stayed nearby for the actual event.

May 14 Moonrise

I was on the west side of Oak Harbor to catch the full moon rising over Maylor's Point.
