Die Plenae Lunae Reversurus

DSCN0700

Today on January 1st, 2018, we were blessed with one of the most beautiful full moons I’ve ever seen. I ran out onto the dock of Log Boom Park in Kenmore, Washington to try and capture the glory of the moonrise and light.

Looking down the dock to the south. This is at the northern end of Lake Washington, which divides Seattle and the Eastside.

Phalacrocoracidae, commonly known as cormorants. There were also many ducks.

The color seemed unusual for this time of year, such a rich and buttery yellow-orange.

And once again, the roosting birds, who seemed completely unfazed by the frigid temperature.
