Full Beaver Moon

 This month's full moon is called the Frost Moon, or Beaver Moon. It is believed that this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze. Or that the beavers are hard at work preparing for winter (when are they NOT hard at work?).

Your photos of the moon are always fantastic.

Wow, blood moon enlarged to these details. It was making me busy and crazy the whole day and night

Love the moon photos as I have not been able to see it. Living in the country prevents seeing many of these things. I was able to see some of the light from it last night, but could not get to a window to actually see the moon.

Gorgeous!

We are supposed to be able to see the blood moon last night but it was raining heavily. This morning I saw a big round moon but my phone camera is limited. Your moon photos are always spectacular.

What a wonderful shot of the moon! WOW!!!! I have always had the 'busy beaver' syndrome and wish I could switch it off sometimes. lol. Guess I will enjoy it while I can.

We used to have big beaver dams by our house in one of the huge ponds and it was amazing to watch them.

Have a wonderful rest of the week- xo Diana

Your photos of the Full Beaver Moon are pretty, Ginny. I always see faces in the moon images that you take. I just saw the hedgehog on a friend's post today. We learn a few things from our blog friends often. : )
