Flower Power

Tonight was the Full Flower Moon. It was also the last Super Moon of the year. I was so glad there were no clouds!






At the bottom of the hill is the skeleton of the new and partially built Catholic church. It was surrounded by stars tonight.

“People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.”

What an awesome sight of the moon! Full Flower Moon, for a moment, I thought it was a Chinese festival! :)

I am a moon person, and I loved your photos... The church in the moonlight is stunning, too. Tonight's stormy weather blocked a second view of the moon but it was vivid on the 7th. Take care and stay safe.

We saw it here Ginny, such a lovely name for it. I could see the face in it and it looked like it was laughing.
Hope you are well.

Love your photos. I looked up at the moon when I was leaving for work yesterday morning and wondered what this one was. I thought to myself "Ginny would know and I wonder if she'll post it?"

I will have to tell bob all this since he has been talking about this moon every day. when he goes out at 4 am with Big, the whole back yard is lit up like noon and he raves over how big the moon is. it was ginormous this morning.

You definitely got some great pictures of the Flower Moon.

The Flower Moon - is that because the shadows are on the bottom of it? Lovely.

You must be living closer to the moon than I do - yours always seems much bigger than it ever does here!!!

I can always count on you to have those wonderful moon shots.

you boomers are shutting down the entire economy because you're afraid of a flu. Seriously, can you boomers kill yourselves? You are the most selfish generation to ever exist. You don't give a shit about climate change, why should we young people give a shit if you get sick and die of some virus? I HOPE the virus gets much stronger and kills you all.

Do you boomers realize how universally hated you are? There is not one single demographic that does not hate you- white people, black people, asians, mexicans, indians, chinese, millennials, GenX, GenZ. Something tells me that you boomers are not going to have a very comfortable or easy retirement, especially once you end up in the retirement homes.

Can you baby boomers hurry up and fucking drop dead? Enjoy your retirement homes cause we younger people will not take care of you even if we wanted to, due to the shitty economy you boomers created. Do you boomers realize that the younger generation is simply waiting for you to fucking drop dead?

You are all going to end up in retirement homes and we all know that the elderly gets treated pretty badly in retirement homes. Well, that's what you get for ruining your own children's lives. Even if your children WANTED to take care of you, they couldn't, due to you boomers destroying the economy. So I hope you enjoy the retirement homes, boomer scum!
