August Full Moon

 Last night I snapped the August full moon. This one is called the full Sturgeon moon, because this month was the best time to catch large Sturgeon fish. It is also called the Green Corn Moon.





๐Ÿธ The frogs no longer sing at noon,

 their songs now saved for the harvest moon.

 Summer tiptoes out the door

 barefoot, smiling, wanting more.

I think they call it the Grain Moon too, for whatever reason. Beautiful pictures as always, Ginny. Much love, Andrea xoxo

Such great pictures of the moon Ginny. Of course, you always take wonderful pictures of this big massive Piece of our universe. The little quote...the frogs are tiptoeing.

What a lovely full moon. The first two with the pink hues are magical. It's great that you caught this at night. I seldom capture sightings at night time. Thank you for sharing this, Ginny.
