Snow Moon

February 26 - We went for a walk along the beach because of the warm weather (43 degrees). We saw a lone fishing trawler (Lisa Ann III) coming into port through the jetty. Having hiked about a mile along the beach, we turned around. It was dusk, and the sun was beginning to set. As we approached the jetty, we were surprised by large number of people gathered on the beach some with cameras. What was the big attraction? We looked out to sea and saw the full moon rising. This full moon is called the "snow moon." The sky had this beautiful purplish hue. We thought we would share a few photos.

Gulls were flying off to their evening roost.
