MOONING ABOUT

I've always been fascinated by the moon; specifically why sometimes you feel you could reach out and touch it and other times it's so far away. Why does it appear during the day so much? Why the variation in colour? I know I could google all about it but then I think I'd be a bit knowledgeable and blasé wouldn't I?  Much rather stare in awe and wonder why.  
The top photo was taken 6 weeks or so ago during the day and the bottom one just on dusk looking out to sea, away from the sunset but using the same camera, the colours of the sky are beautiful. Big difference in the visibility of my moons.
