Last night was the full moon of November!
It's called the Beaver Moon. A moon so full and
bright that, according to The Farmer's Almanac,
people could set their beaver traps
in the dark, insuring that they would have
enough furs to keep them warm all winter.
We finally had a night that wasn't cloudy or rainy
and I got some photos of it. No beaver traps were set,
although we do have a live trap set for a raccoon.
Does that count? haha.

Great moon pic! Mostly cloudy here.
ReplyDeleteThat's how it's been here, lately! Finally had a clear night to
Deletesee the moon! haha.
Beautiful, eerie and romantic. I always love your moon captures.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the obscure moons are more interesting than the full on shots.
DeleteThey are eerie and romantic! I like that! Old Mr. Moon is always charming. :)
Hi Betsy - the moon was glorious last night ... creamy yellow as I went out, then on my way back a few hours later ... it was silver light in the sky ... no beavers here that I know of - nor traps set! Happy week ahead .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteGlad the beavers were safe. hahahaha....
DeleteSure the raccoon may not think it fun
ReplyDeleteGlad we don't have to go after beaver fur under moon or sun
Great shots though
As the moon is all aglow
If I had to trap my own coon
Deleteunder the light of the moon
I'd be out of luck
and saying wtf. haha.
Couldn't skin one I know
so I'd be cold and have a red glow.
Would have to snuggle with one live
to keep us both warm and above to survive. lol.
lol rabies may be had
DeleteBoth ways can end up bad
And skin at our sea
No way, we'll be cold like thee
I tried several times...but you cloudy here.
ReplyDeleteYou captured it beautifully!
Enjoy your day...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
We are back to cloudy....crazy storms last night! Thought we were going to blow away
Deleteor float away! haha. No moon for us. No sun today either!
You always get the most beautiful moon photos, Betsy! Fun to learn of the "Beaver Moon". Always love learning something new! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while the skies cooperate! (and I remember to get out there with my camera!)
DeleteGreat shots, Betsy, but still no little green men waving . . . :)
ReplyDeleteNo green men! I'm beginning to think you have imagined them!
DeleteGreat photos! =)
ReplyDeleteIts been cloudy here ( and a little colder ).
That's what we have today! Feels like November!
DeleteI hadn't heard that phrase before. Have you caught a raccoon before or is this a new trap? We had a skunk a few weeks ago before didn't want to catch it. Fortunately it didn't stick around.
ReplyDeleteWe caught 2 raccoons and relocated them! Thankfully we didn't catch any skunks. haha.
DeleteI never heard of that before. It was very foggy here, so no trap setting in the moon light for us. :) Your moon pics are always so good!
ReplyDeleteWe've had several foggy mornings recently. I love them!
DeleteI did not know that. Oh, it was such a big beautiful moon and I should have taken pictures. We live at the end of a dirt path and seeing that big moon lighting the path was beautiful! I love your pictures!
ReplyDeleteWe have too many trees to see the moon really big on the horizon.
DeleteI really am irritated at that. haha.
Beaver moon, huh? That's a new term to me.
ReplyDeleteThat's because it's the Farmer's Almanac and not the Fox's Almanac. :)
