Great pic Megan.

Btw, I saw one of the most beautiful and interesting sights that I have ever seen the other day (regarding the moon) - for the first time in my life. I believe it is called a halo around the moon? Things have to be just right for this to happen.

Using your photo, imagine a perfect circle/ring all around a full moon, about 4 inches out from the moon's center in the photo.

I'd never heard of that before... I just googled it and wow! Very beautiful and interesting!

Yeah, that is exactly what I saw. How cool is that!!! I wonder if I will ever see it again in my lifetime.

Curious as to how many other A.A. members have ever seen this halo effect?
