The Buck

 July's full moon was this week. This one is called The Full Buck Moon. My photos didn't turn out too bad.





“Buck Moon nights smell like childhood: cut grass, porch lights, and the hush before the crickets begin.”

I was at work the other day and saw a thing about the full buck moon. I couldn't help thinking of you. I wondered if you would post it and I was sure that you would. The story also said that this moon goes by other names and so I also wondered if you would call it the buck moon or one of the other names it had. Of course I can't remember what any of those names are now.

I love this. I just texted it to my son to tell his sweetie that it is called Full Buck Moon. She thought he was lying when he told her there was a Strawberry Moon....and she called me to see if he had set her up. lol. xo Diana

I remember the full moon in July 1963. We sprawled on the grass at night, it was too hot to sleep upstairs. So lovely.

they are wonderful, could not be any better. Yesterday and today we could see without the lantern when I took Beau out early.. the moon did not look like this, to far down, not overhead

hmmm, I'm wondering why they call it the Full Buck Moon. Pretty photos, Ginny. I love the black sky you captured in the pictures. The quotes is delightful too.
