A Super-Sunrise

This past weekend there was a lot of talk about the supermoon. I had every intention of viewing it, but got caught up laundry and before I knew it the magic moment had passed. I hear it was beautiful, and lived up to its name. I felt like I missed out on something big, that is, until...

Monday morning. I pulled on the street and saw this glowing in front of me. I spent the rest of my drive trying to capture its awesomeness with my camera and saying "wow" out loud to myself a number of times. Had the earth moved closer to the sun? Why am I not being singed to bits? Did the tectonic plates shift and now my continent is located where the African plain used to be?  It looked that big, that red, and that beautiful you guys!

Did you get to see the supermoon or a super-sunrise this week?
