Supermoon Sunset Nature Walk on Wednesday, March 20, 2019
On the evening of the Vernal Equinox we hiked up Shelf Road on the Valley View Preserve above Ojai to see the rising of the full supermoon and the setting of the sun. Although we had a beautiful walk and saw a nice sunset, clouds on the eastern horizon obscured our view of the moonrise. It was a great walk, though, with a great group of people and lush surroundings from all the rain we've had this winter. Photos by Janeal Colbert and Susanne Lammot.
