Full Moon

It was 95 degrees, humid, and windy in Hayward yesterday.  Only a small, die-hard group of five showed up for the weekly Tuesday night ride, likely because of ominous skies and distant thunder.  Much needed showers in the area got rid of most of the head and humidity, so we ended up with an ideal evening to ride.

Following the storms, the winds died down and the lake was like glass under the almost-full moon.  This photo was taken at 10:30pm and exposed for about 15 seconds.  The moon was so bright that even the reflection on the lake was blue.

Get outside and enjoy the full moon tonight!
