Nice to see the relationship Sandy. I was walking home during the event. (Therefore no photos of my own. I would have tried to digiscope it if I had been at home). It never ceases to amaze my how the eye plays tricks. Viewing this with the naked eye it seemed like Saturn was so close to the moon, but your photo shows it's all relative.
