does seeing that so called pink moon   require a special location with herbal supplements  like Colarado or Amsterdam? 

I only saw the usual rock up there in Adelaide.

I heard Utah was supposed to get the best view, maybe the DAZ staff saw it?

    I didn't even know about it ;). And I've seen blood red ones, but never pink. Too bad I missed it ;).

    i had the same reaction.

    turns out, it's not called a pink moon because it looks pink, it's because the flowers--pinks--bloom around this time. :/

    who'd have guessed?

    Never heard it called a pink moon before. I consider pink moon more of a pale peach color as that has pink shades to it sometimes it can be downright orange. In spring there is also redbud winter (Feb/Mar) , dogwood winter (Mar/Apr), and blackberry winter (Apr/May) too.

    They are called winters just because they are cold snaps that causes budbreak in those particular plants (as well as other plants too).

    Yes,  grannies and gramps know what they were talking about much more than I thought with all this old fashioned weather, moon, and plant growing lore.

    Perhaps you were looking for this?  I shot this last night while riding the ferry across the Potomac River from Virginia to Maryland. Just a couple hours shy of full.  The camera is a Nikon Coolpix P900 - it's like a small handheld telescope with INCREDIBLE power!!!  This is a handheld moon "snapshot".  Since everyone was looking for a pink moon, I thought I would make all your wildest dreams come true. <LOL>
