I’ve been meaning to paint this gorgeous October moonrise I witnessed from Geary’s beach on Vinalhaven this Fall, and today was the day. I had gone for a late afternoon hike and pondered watching the moon come up from high atop a rocky ledge, but realized I might be in trouble getting down the rock after dark, so I headed over to the beach to watch it come up over Isle au Haut and the bay instead. It was glorious!
