April 27, 2021 - Attempted Sunrise Pink Moonset

Alas! Just before setting, the Pink Moon disappeared behind some clouds.  They parted to reveal the pink Olympics, but the super moon was gone.

April 26, 2021 - Pink Moonrise Sunset

The rise of tonight's Pink Moon was quite lovely.    There are three other super moons in 2021 - March's Super Worm Moon, May's Super Flower Moon and June's Super Strawberry moon.  

However, before the moon had her moment, the sun bowed out to the west with a show of her own.

We were lucky enough to catch the first part of the moonrise as it rose between the arms of Everett DuPen's "Vision", a cast bronze sculpture of a diver at the Edmonds Public Library.

April 7, 2020 - Pink Moon

This year's brightest New Moon - the Pink Moon - as viewed from West Seattle's Totem Pole Park at the Rotary Viewpoint.  With about 200 cloudy days each year, we're not often lucky enough to view the different new moons.  The Pink Moon is named after Phlox, the early blooming flowers, native to, and found throughout North America.   Other traditional new moons - Worm Moon (March), Buck Moon (July) and Sturgeon Moon (August) - don't have quite the aesthetically pleasing moniker as April's.
