We’ve been having thunderstorms with lightening almost every day lately so I wasn’t sure I’d be able to see or photograph this month’s full Moon. The day before the full Moon we had storm clouds rolling in all afternoon, but then it cleared up about an hour before Moonrise so, I thought I’d photograph it in case the following night was too overcast to photograph it.
While waiting for the moon to rise enough to get past the mountains I saw a couple of people in Motorized-gliders flying around the mountain where the moon would rise. I hoped they were going to stay long enough for the moon to rise, and fingers crossed one or both would do a moon fly-by. One did!!
It looks like a big bug doesn’t it? The sun was still up so the moon is really faded/washed out.
The following night there were enough breaks in the clouds that I was able to photograph the Full Moon. This is a two frame composite image.
One frame exposed for the sky and foreground and the other exposed for the Moon. I blended the frames in Photoshop.
June’s full moon gets one of its names from the wild strawberries that begin to ripen during the early summer and be gathered by Native American tribes.
Other names for June’s Full Moon are:
Rose Moon, Hot Moon, and Mead Moon.
Yesterday the wind really picked up tossing two patio chairs across the patio, one cushion was blow across the entire patio, and a planter tipped over. The Zephyr wind wins again!😂 We also had some thunder and a little lightening, but both were several miles away.
Saturday #1 Grandson is coming to visit for a week or two for summer. We have plans to hit the grocery store and library straight-away. We hope the weather improves so we can go to the lake and take him paddling.
That’s all from here. I hope you’re having a good week!
