Moon Moods | “Goose” Moon
Yesterday, I posted images of Friday’s (15 Nov. 2024) so-called full Beaver Moon. Also labeled as a Super Moon, it rose up above the horizon before sunset which means that the landscape was still lit by our sun’s natural light. The downside of this sun-moon timing was that the moon was not very well contrasted which was not helped by a veiled of thin clouds moving along the horizon. Every month, full moons are hyped in the medias as if it is a novelty and it unfortunately is a reality as few people even bother looking up the sky. The moon has lost her shine with so much urban light surrounding us. And never mind the intermediate phases of the moon between full moons. Myself, I often take opportunities to shoot the moon in its different forms and in varied setting. This is why I returned to the same site yesterday (Saturday 16 Nov) to get another look at her rising. With a 99.7% illumination it was essentially full, but rose over a clearer sky shortly after sunset. As a result, our natural satellite appeared crispier with a deeper rusty red hue, which gradually faded as it rose on her nightly arc cresting with darkening and conversely increasing reflection off the inner harbour of Kingston. Missed the full moon? Just check out her mood other evenings/nights. By the way, I and others keep seeing geese crossing the path of the moon light reaching us. I have never seen beavers running across the moon. It is rather peculiar that none of the full moons are named after birds. So, I choose to name my shots from last night Goose Moon.

Seen about a year after delivery, First Bristol 35148 SN65OMS was delivered with 9 other Streetdecks liveried for the 90 service and wearing a red front. A headway reduction saw it painted with a neutral sky blue front as seen here in Sep 2016, but it would soon gain a third colour scheme in about a year when it gained Mendip Explorer colours.

The Intermediate Egret is a medium-sized (56-72 cm), white egret with a yellow bill, yellow iris and black legs and feet. The bare facial skin at the gape terminates below the eye, whereas in the similar but larger Great Egret, it extends slightly behind the eye.
The Intermediate Egret prefers mainly inland habitats with emergent aquatic vegetation such as pools, river margins, lakes, swamps, rice fields and fish ponds. It is found less often in coastal habitats. It feeds mainly on fish, frogs, insects and crustaceans, which it catches by quietly standing and watching, or by slowly walking. Although it nests colonially, it may be found feeding either alone or in small groups.
