Spring storm in Maine.

Spring storms, or squalls, can be dramatic and fast moving.

Sometimes they deliver rain, sometimes snow, sometimes just odd white fluffy stuff.

Big moon rising.

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

(Still fiddling with a new camera.) The night of the Harvest Moon was too foggy to really see it. This was the next night.

Orange moon rising over Penobscot Bay, Maine.

It was bright orange as it came up over the horizon.

And got brighter and whiter as it rose, spreading sparkles over the water. You’ll notice that it’s not fully round — the top right edge is soft.

The names of the full moons are – - January —  Full Wolf Moon; FebruaryFull Snow Moon, March Full Worm Moon; April Full Pink Moon; May Full Flower Moon; June Full Strawberry Moon; July Full Buck Moon; August Full Sturgeon Moon; September -- Full Corn Moon; October – Full Harvest Moon; November Full Beaver Moon; December Full Cold Moon.

A Blue Moon is the second full moon in one month.

The names are a mix of the names both the Indians and the European settlers used. There’s a bit more info at The Farmers Almanac.

These pics were taken before the moon bombing, a very interesting project by NASA.

The sky often merges into the water, and you can’t tell where one stops and the other begins.
