The full moon on July 3, 2023, the first of four ultra-bright supermoons, will appear larger and more vibrant due to its close proximity to Earth during perigee i.e. 14,000 miles closer to Earth than a typical full moon event.
This month’s moon is also known as the buck moon. July is typically when male deer’s antlers grow during an annual cycle of shedding and regrowth, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. Google
For some, this time of year might be pleasantly warm, even hot. Yet for others, this is probably the coldest time of the year.
When is the Midpoint of Winter? Many people think the midpoint of winter is always Groundhog Day, but it varies. If you check the latest edition of the Farmers' Almanac, you'll see that it's Thursday, February 3, 2022—the exact halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.
This bit of info was taken from the Farmer' Almanac!
I haven't had much time to visit SIMs these past months, one of them being Nelipot, always so beautiful. I'm so glad I had the chance to see it before the snow melted away ; )

On the south side of the Beardstown square, east of the Carnegie Library shown previously, is a courthouse that dates back to when Beardstown was the seat of Cass County. Located on the southeast corner of Third and State streets, the building was constructed in 1844 by Thomas Beard, the man who settled the town in 1820.
What makes this courthouse famous is its association with Abraham Lincoln. Known as the "Almanac Trial" courthouse, this is where Lincoln, 2-1/2 years before being elected 16th President of the United States, saved an innocent man from the gallows by using an almanac to expose the perjury of a villainous witness. Today it is the only courtroom still in use where Abraham Lincoln once practiced law.
This building served as the county courthouse until 1872 when the current courthouse in Virigina was completed. Since then it has continued to be used as a courtroom and for other local government functions. Now known as the Old Lincoln Courtroom and Museum, today the building includes the courtroom where Lincoln defended Duff Armstrong, the 24-year-old man charged in the Almanac Trial, as well as collections of historical artifacts from the region.
Located in West Central Illinois, Beardstown had a population of 5,951 at the 2020 census making it the largest city in Cass County.

Not quite a full Cold moon!
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the December full phase is called the Full Cold Moon, and if you live in the Northern Hemisphere's mid-latitudes, the name is no mystery. The sun this time of year sets early — per timeanddate.com, it will do so at 4:30 p.m. in New York City on Dec. 18 — and the sky gets dark by about 5:30 p.m.
If one looks in the southwest at about that time on Dec. 18, the rising full moon will be to the left. Three planets — Venus, Saturn and Jupiter — will form a roughly straight line from southwest to south going up at about a 45-degree angle relative to the horizon, with Jupiter the highest and Venus closest to the horizon.
Hello my friends! We are having a true Maine winter, I guess the old Farmer's Almanac was right this year. But the last week we and many others have had frigid weather. Tomorrow will be a balmy 25F!
I'm a bit behind…on to viewing your lovely images.
Thanks for the visits and be well!
BTW - Flickr has been so naughty lately:(

A view of the south side of the square (100 block of W. 3rd St.) as seen looking west from State St. Until 1872, Beardstown was the seat of Cass County, and the corner building is the old county courthouse - now city offices and a museum - where Abraham Lincoln once practiced. Known as the "Almanac Trial" courthouse, this is where Lincoln, 2-1/2 years before being elected 16th President of the United States, saved an innocent man from the gallows by using an almanac to expose the perjury of a villainous witness. Today it is the only courtroom still in use where Abraham Lincoln once practiced law.
To the west of the courthouse is the old Carnegie Library, repurposed in the year 2000 as the Beardstown City Hall. The library was built in 1903-04 with a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation. Some 105 Carnegie public libraries were built in Illinois, trailing only Indiana and California. A senior center, old commercial building with a remodeled facade, and a church (blocked by the three-story building next to it) round out the block.
Located in West Central Illinois, Beardstown had a population of 5,951 at the 2020 census making it the largest city in Cass County.

Moonrise at Mono Lake, California. I arrived at my target site on Mono Lake with minutes to spare. My DeLorme PN-20 GPS has a Sun/Moon feature that confirmed the moon rise time, but it also shows a compass with the Sun and moon on it, so I could point the sun symbol towards the setting sun and there was an arrow pointing to the approximate place on the horizon where the moon would come up. I walked a couple of hundred yards until I could line that forecasted rise spot up with the tufa limestone structures that I wanted to shoot. By the way, you can get a Java program for cell phones that support Java that will do the same thing (most phones know your approximate location info from the position of local cell towers, some provide location based services using a GPS signal).
The moon started to peek out over the hills right on time, and I adjusted my tripod position maybe 6-12 feet to place the moon where I wanted it in the scene. I started with a 70-200mm lense and gradually worked my way up to a wide angle lens as the sunset darkened and spread across the sky.
I often bracket different development settings and tools to use on early edits during postprocessing so I can close in on the best settings and techniques for a given site and lighting conditions.
For this result I left the white balance "as shot", but I think the camera saw the scene differently and the actual event was a bit less blue (at least to my mind's perception... there's truly no such thing as "reality" when it comes to white balance and color perception). The light does of course shift more towards blue as sunsets progress, so it could well be my perception or my memory that varies from the event. The people who claim to produce an accurate copy of a given moment crack me up. Accurate to an electronic device, to one person, or to which people, and under which ambient lighting conditions? I don't believe that there is any consistency in color perception from person to person (let alone from the original event to viewing a representation of it under different lighting conditions). The whole claim is a farce. Must I "go with the flow" and pretend, or is it safe to observe that the "just as it happened" emperor truly has no clothes?
You can look up times for your next full moon rise (at sunset) and set (at dawn). On June 26, 2010 in Western states we you have the bonus of a penumbral lunar eclipse as the full moon sets to the west just before sunrise. The details and links to moon time calculation resources are provided here:

According to the Farmers Almanac, "To see a primary bow in the sky above the horizon, the anti solar point, the shadow of your head, must be less than 42 degrees below the horizon (and 51 degrees for the secondary bow). This means you usually can only see rainbows in the morning and afternoons before the sun is too high in the sky." It must only be near the winter solstice that this could happen at high noon!

"April’s full Moon is the Paschal Full Moon, an important Moon to those who celebrate Easter, since Easter’s date depends on the date of the Paschal Full Moon.
Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon (i.e., the first full Moon of spring), which means that it will be celebrated this year on Sunday, April 9 (following the full Moon on April 5-6).
Also, the name "Pink Moon" comes from the early springtime bloom of a wildflower commonly known as moss pink, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.
Why can't we all just get along.
According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, the name was used by Native American Algonquin tribes that live in the northeastern U.S. and Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota peoples. It was used to mark the ripening of strawberries ready to be gathered in June.
Traditionally, the strawberry moon is the full moon in June, which is typically the last of spring or the first of summer. This full moon also has other names such as flower moon, hot moon, honey moon, rose moon, Vat Purnima and Poson Poya.

They were originally a 998cc, two door car and were made between 1948–1971 with a total of 1,619,958 cars were produced. They were given the nick-name of the ‘Moggy’ or ‘Moggy Minor’.
It was assembled in various locations across the world, namely……
Oxford, England, Birmingham, England, Victoria Park, Sydney, Australia, Dublin, Ireland and at Newmarket in Auckland, New Zealand (until 1963).

My two sculpture choices today can be linked by the concept of whimsy. This little caravan can be found down by the Yarra River at the back of the Heide property. It is clearly a tribute to a kid's Meccano set. But there's more to it than that.
The late Bob Jenyns was born in Victoria, but spent some time teaching art in Tasmania. His little caravan is a tribute to one of his great mentors, Albert Tucker (1914-1999). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Tucker_(artist)
In the 1950s Tucker was a struggling artist in Paris. He hand-built a little caravan which he parked by the River Seine, and Jenyns has here made a scale model of it. For this work Jenyns won Australia’s leading sculpture prize – the 2008 Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award. This sculpture has been displayed in numerous settings, but it has finally found a home by another river in the Antipodes. There is something about this location, near what is called John's Wild Wood (planted by John Reed), that evokes a sense of nostalgia.
There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery store, and the other that heat comes from the furnace.

A snowy afternoon reflection.
The Farmers' Almanac said we were supposed to be in for a snowy winter. Boy was it wrong! It has been mild. Disappointingly so. Which is probably why at every little flurry I run outside like a child seeing snow for the first time.
One meteorologist suggested a La Nina ridge over the west coast could create a "roller coaster" effect for the Atlantic coast, making storm tracks shift around from where they would usually land. Maybe, or maybe its just bad luck. Either way, I'm still hoping the Almanac comes through. It's predicting a big storm in the beginning of April. Nothing says Easter in Newfoundland like a fresh coat of snow. :-)
We went to the Sedona Airport to take sunset photos. The light and glow from the sandstone was expect, but the rising of the Wolf moon was a wonderful surprise.
"The January full moon is called the Wolf Moon, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac, which may date back to Native American tribes and early Colonial times when wolves would howl outside villages."
From a lower vantage point, this rock formation's spires look like fingers in a mitten.
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac: "December’s full Moon is most commonly known as the Cold Moon—a Mohawk name that conveys the frigid conditions of this time of year, when cold weather truly begins to grip us. This full Moon has also been called the Long Night Moon (Mohican), as it rises during the “longest” nights of the year, which are near the December winter solstice. This name is doubly fitting because December’s full Moon shines above the horizon for a longer period of time than most full Moons."
They are native to tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia. They grow on the forest floors of tropical humid forests, in shady, moist or wet areas along rivers and streams, in river valleys and foothills. The peace lily is said to have gotten its common name from its white flowers, which rise timidly above its green foliage and resemble white flags of peace.

Excerpt from www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-august:
August’s first full Moon will appear on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 1, reaching peak illumination at 2:32 P.M. Eastern Time. That evening, look toward the southeast after sunset to catch a glimpse of the Sturgeon Moon rising.
You may have heard that there are four supermoons in a row this year; the August 1 supermoon is the second supermoon of this unusual sequence. “Supermoon” is a catchy term for what astronomers call “a perigean full Moon” which is when the full Moon happens at (or very near) the exact time when the Moon is closest to us in its orbit.
A supermoon exceeds the disk size of an average-sized Moon by up to 8% and the brightness of an average-sized full Moon by some 16%. You may not perceive the difference in size, but a supermoon will appear brighter in the sky.
August’s full Moon was traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon because the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this part of summer.
From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar
When the dawn begins to crack
It’s all part of my autumn almanac
Breeze blows leaves of a musty-coloured yellow
So I sweep them in my sack
Yes, yes, yes, it’s my autumn almanac

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the full July moon is called the “Buck Moon” because a buck’s antlers are in full growth mode during this time of the year.
This was photographed from my home in New Westminster, looking south across the Fraser River to Surrey. The snow capped mountain in the distance is in the Cascades Range in Washington State.
What’s The Spiritual Meaning of the Flower Moon?
According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the Flower Moon gets its name from the beautiful blossoming flowers that spring is so well known for. The flora-inspired name is attributed to the Algonquin people, though the lunar event may also be referred to as the Budding Moon or Planting Moon.
As for how this lunation will affect the eclipse, Samay shares: “When a lunar eclipse occurs in Scorpio, it can bring about an intense karmic shift towards our psyche, finances, sexuality, and willpower. This means full disclosure and exposure will take place in ‘errors’ of the past.”
Some areas of your life that will likely need reevaluating during this time include finances, power dynamics, and even hygiene, per the astrologer. “Expect to see discussions on political power struggles, or hidden agendas in the collective consciousness,” Samay shares. But don’t expect the days leading up to May 5 to be packed with life-changing events, because according to Samay, the effects of an eclipse can be seen “two weeks to two months before and after the fated date.” In other words: get ready for miracles and unexpected shake-ups all throughout May.
How To Work With The Full Flower Moon’s Energy
As you can probably tell, there’s going to be a lot of energy surrounding this full Flower Moon. Samay shares three tips on how to work with la luna’s power that will not only help keep you grounded but will prepare you for what’s to come, too.
The first thing the astrologer suggests for this eclipse is to make a full moon offering. “Choose an object or symbol that represents your spiritual goals or intentions, such as a crystal or a piece of jewelry,” explains Samay. “Place the object outside under the moonlight as an offering to the divine. This act of surrendering something of value can help you let go of attachment and open yourself up to the transformative power of the full moon.”
Because water is a “powerful element that is associated with emotions and intuition,” another way to build your spiritual connection with la luna is by taking a full moon bath, according to Samay. To do this, visualize the moon's energy washing over you while soaking in the moonlight as a way of cleansing any negative energy or emotions. “Use this time to set intentions for your spiritual growth and transformation,” says Samay.
Lastly, try not to shy away from the full moon’s energy, and instead embrace it. To do this, Samay recommends taking a moment to dance in the moonlight. “Play music that resonates with you and dance under the moonlight,” the astrologer suggests. “Allow yourself to move freely and express any emotions that come up. Through the evoking movement of dance, you can connect with the lunar symphonies to transmute any stagnant or stale energy into something beautiful and transformative.”
The most important thing to remember this lunation is to welcome every shift and emotional response you may encounter. Again, that’s easier said than done, but hopefully these tips will make the impending celestial event much more manageable.

Excerpt from www.almanac.com/what-harvest-moon:
One thing that sets the Harvest Moon apart from other full Moon names is that it’s not associated with a specific month, as the others are. Instead, the Harvest Moon relates to the timing of the autumnal equinox (September 22, 2024), with the full Moon that occurs nearest to the equinox being the one to take on the name “Harvest Moon.” This means that the Harvest Moon can occur in either September or October, depending on how the lunar cycle lines up with the Gregorian calendar.
The Harvest Moon does typically occur in September, taking the place of the full Corn Moon. However, it occasionally lands in October instead, replacing the full Hunter’s Moon.
For several evenings, the moonrise comes soon after sunset. This results in an abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening, which was a traditional aid to farmers and crews harvesting their summer-grown crops. Hence, it’s called the “Harvest” Moon!
Usually, throughout the year, the Moon rises an average of about 50 minutes later each day.
However, for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the northern USA and only 10 to 20 minutes later farther north in Canada and Europe.
Additionally, the Harvest Moon rises at sunset and will rise very near sunset for several nights in a row because the difference is at a yearly minimum. It may almost seem as if there are full Moons multiple nights in a row!
Last night’s full Supermoon captured during the hottest night in (my) living memory.
“Named by the Native American Algonquin tribe after sturgeon fish that were more easily caught in the Great Lakes and other bodies of water during this time of year, the sturgeon moon ends 2022's series of four supermoons, which began in May, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.”

STRAWBERRY MOON
Last time there was a strawberry moon was 1948. Shot from the Whitney Mesa Trails and the flag is from the rooftop of Sunset Station. Thanks Shiela for informing about this rare occasion. =)

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac: "It’s thought that January’s full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because wolves were more likely to be heard howling at this time. It was traditionally believed that wolves howled due to hunger during winter, but we know today that wolves howl for different reasons. Howling and other wolf vocalizations are generally used to define territory, locate pack members, reinforce social bonds, and coordinate hunting."
