July super buck moon

3 07 2023

The moon is actually full at 5:39 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time, but I’ll tell you what, it definitely looked SUPER coming up at 8:49 last night!

“The first of four supermoons to rise in 2023, July’s lunar display will appear to be brighter in the night sky than any other full moon event that has occurred this year.“

“Nearly a hundred years ago, the Maine Farmer’s Almanac began referring to this particular moon as the ‘Buck Moon.’ They attributed this moniker to the Algonquin peoples of the northeastern United States.“

I hope it shines brightly for you, wherever you are. It’s as gorgeous as fireworks … and quite a lot more peaceful. 🙂

One day, I’ll get a super moon-and-mustangs photo … but otherwise, the moon alone is pretty awesome! 😉

It sure looked amazing, even from the first sliver of crown I saw coming up over those far ridges!
