Super Moon???

The perpetuation of the supermoon myth is mostly motivated by desire for publicity. But much of what we call the supermoon is just our eyes playing tricks on us.
 Saturday night looking east from the side yard/
 More of saturday night
 Here she is as I walked around the house to get the best shot.

Below shot is Sunday morning but we had low  clouds so the Moon is fuzzy.

Interesting article in Sky and Telescope mag. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/community/skyblog/observingblog/Supermoon-June2013-212330751.html

We didn't get much time to enjoy it as the clouds moved in and obscured it. Tonight it is raining with heavy cloud cover. I will have to wish happy moon watching to others.
