May Full Moon

The May full moon is known as the Full Flower Moon due to the abundance of flowers during this time.  Other names include the Full Corn Planting Moon and the Milk Moon.

As I walked Athena last night I noticed how brilliant the moon looked in the metallic blue sky.  I love how late it stays light at this time of year.  Even though the the sun is down the sky is still blue for a while.  The above photo (actually from yesterday) was taken at 9:09 p.m.  Tonight the moon will be full around 11:30.
