Once in a blue moon

Blue Moon, Griffith Observatory

A blue moon is the term for the "extra" full moon in a particular time frame or lunar phase. In the month of August, there were two full moons instead of the usual one. The second, showing itself on the 31st, was the "blue" one.

Although though it's not actually blue-appearing just the same as any other full moon in the night sky-I had to witness it. So, Parker and I drove up to the Griffith Observatory at dusk. We watched the sun set over downtown, and then admired the moon in the black of night, atop the glow of the city lights. 

When we got home, we enjoyed dinner with our brew of choice....Blue Moon.
