Columbia Gorge Super Pink Moonrise

Well I have to confess this was actually one day before the actual Super Pink Moon. At this particular location, however, the moon was actually brighter, and definitely surrounded by more pink! The moon rose somewhat earlier so that it would be in an optimal position over the Columbia Gorge Hills during twilight just after the sun set. Sometimes actual days do not matter and we must think a little out of the box and go with the flow! I just loved the way the moon light accented the texture and seed pods of the desert parsley in the foreground and brought out the brilliant yellows of the Balsam Root flowers-a most memorable experience.
