Moonset

I was awake early today so I decided to take in a sunrise at Lighthouse Beach. As I pulled out of my driveway I saw the full moon sitting low in the sky so I swung by Oyster Pond to see if I could watch the moonset.

I was treated to the site of an enormous moon in shades of pink and gold getting ready to fade below the trees on the far side of the pond. I was able to take a picture thanks to the light from the nautical dawn that was well underway.

After the moon had dipped below the horizon I continued over to Lighthouse Beach and watched the sunset and it was lovely, but on this morning, the moonset won my heart.
