FULL MOON IN AUGUST

The full moon in August

 

 

 

       The full moon of August has a characteristic that sets it apart from the rest of the year's full moons. Its distinct color! Especially when the moon starts to rise in the sky. Magical!!! A lot of songs have been written about the August full moon.

     It is considered to be the biggest moon of the year.  Fifteen or so minutes before I took the picture the moon was huuuuuge! It was during our summer vacation last year and we had just finished our afternoon swim and I had to run back home to get the camera...I was a little late! Still, I think it's a nice photo, the full moon at sunset. So romantic!!!
