Each month the full moon has a name. October is a Full Hunter’s Moon. The name comes from Native American lore. (September is Full Corn Moon, which explains the lyrics from Pocahontas’ song, Colors Of The Wind. I didn’t get that until now. XD If you want to read more about how each full moon got its nickname, here is where I got the info: https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-names)
I made it my mission to go out and not only see it but get photos as it came up over the horizon. The only problem was, there were trees in the way. I could sort of see it through the trees but really, it made it look like the trees were on fire.
…it didn’t go as I planned. I kept changing angles and trying to see the full moon but there were too many trees. I’m not sure how long it took me, but I finally saw that I could use the trees to my advantage to frame the moon:
So instead of a bunch of fails, I started getting images like this, which I was at least sort of satisfied with.
My favorite photo of the night didn’t show the orange as much because the moon had moved away from the horizon, but the framing was pretty great:
The next full moon, the Full Beaver Moon, will be on the 12th of November. I hope I remember because I want to try getting photos of that full moon too. Hope to see you then! ❤

These are gorgeous Grace. So pretty, and miraculous 🙂 I loved using the almanac when I was growing my garden. It was very helpful because the moon cycles will certainly help with the growth of plants. Like root veggies needed to be planted on the dark side of the moon, and above ground veggies during the light side. It was also very good about telling weather predictions, and fun stuff like the best days to mow grass to promote growth, or to keep it from growing too fast. And of course so much more lol Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures 🙂

Than you! ❤ God made the moon extra pretty that night. 🙂
Oh so all that about the moon phases and growing plants is not just superstition? I didn't realize that! :O My garden didn't do well this year. Maybe next year I should try this.
I'm happy to share. 😀

Yes, the farmers almanac is great for tidbits like that. I use to think my grand dad could tell the weather better than the guys on the news, and his garden always grew. When I was older my Granny told me the almanac was his secret hahaha 🙂

It's a Cannon Powershot SX530 HS. I picked it out at Walmart for my birthday a couple of years ago. 🙂 It's pretty great! It also does video, but because I have a free plan, I can't share those here. (But I do share on my Instagram sometimes. I posted this video today if you want to see how it does with video: https://www.instagram.com/p/B6w-J7dJwiS/ My account is public so the link should work.)

Yikes! Is everyone okay? We had a neighbor once who did something like that and got burned.
