dailybell: Full Moon Rise upon the Fairy Garden

dailybell

2008 was the inaugural year in an ongoing, aspirational project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others while ringing bells. It is based on the conviction that something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.

Full Moon Rise upon the Fairy Garden

March 9, 2020. Sunrise 7:28 AM.
Berkeley, CA.

For observing the full moon sunrise Monday, I got up at 6am , thinking that the sunrise would be 6:28. It wasn't!!! I was up an hour early, which enabled me to witness the amazing moon in the first shot -YAY! An hour later, I took the moon again, and after ringing the sunrise bell , I took the next photos - 1. 2.the white outer part of the ceanothus blossom which looks like snow on the hummingbird sage, 3. first poppy of the season in the garden, 4. ceanothus and fiery red pineapple sage blossoms. It's SPRING!
