Though the heart be still as loving,
  And the moon be still as bright.

Did you see the moonrise tonight? It was amazing.

With the full moon and the enlargement distortion that happens near the horizon, it looked huge. The (fairly rare) cloud-free South Florida skies made it even easier to see here. And the fact that twilight/dusk had just started added a purplish hue to the sky....

Making it even better for me: I just happened to catch it. It wasn't even planned to be spotted: it was just there to catch me be surprise on my drive over to the pool post work. It was nice.

It's hugeness stayed for about 10-20 minutes, and then the moon gradually shrunk back to normal size. Though still a very bright full moon tonight.


Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a roving
By the light of the moon.
