Full Moon Halo

We had a very large and powerful full moon here a couple of days ago.  The night was mild but the moon had a large halo around it.  This means, apparently, that rain is on its way.  The moisture in the air crystallizes creating a surface for the moonlight to reflect off.  I was impressed with the sight enough to drag out my tripod, mount the camera on it and take a 'proper' photo of it.  I'm glad I did.

My husband tried to take photos of the moon on 11/11. It was beautiful, but he didn't capture the moon like you did. Great shots!
