SuperMoon bring on Spring!

The moon like a flower 

In heaven's high bower,

With silent delight

Sits and smiles on the night.

-William Blake

Tonight the moon was the closest to earth that it has been in 18 years; making it the so-called SuperMoon. It was 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) away from Earth. My family and I gathered outside to watch the moon rise after a very busy day doing spring cleaning in the garden.

This was our view. We were all exhausted and enjoyed lingering under the full moon.

According to National Geographic the supermoon is 20% brighter and 15% bigger than a regular full moon. Most people probably won't notice a difference but it will cast more light on the ground than normal.
What a great way to bring on spring!
