Harvest Moon

September 29th Full Moon - Poem

Another treated version of a photo I took of the September Harvest Moon.
A harvest Moon!
And on the mats-
Shadows of pine boughs.
-Takarai Kikaku, Japanese poet (1661-1707)

September 29, 2012 - Full Moon

This a treated version of a photograph I took of the full moon over our street.

The following is from The Old Farmer's Almanac:
"This month we also celebrate what we call a Harvest Moon, which is the full Moon nearest the autumnal equinox. It can occur in September or October and is bright enough to allow finishing all the harvest chores. The Full Harvest Moon is different than all our other full Moons. Around this date, the Moon rises at almost the same time for a number of nights in our northern latitudes."

Athena Nibbles Kale

Athena started nibbling the ornamental kale just seconds after I snapped this shot. I didn't allow it.

Gorgeous Fall Day


Sat in the backyard today and did some reading for class. Perfect weather. I sat facing Deb's yard. This was my view.
