- What should we call it? The November Full Moon.
- The Native Americans and colonist had many names.
- Beaver Moon? This was the time to set beaver traps before the
swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Also because
of the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter.
It is sometimes referred to as the Frosty Moon, Dark Moon, Tree Moon or Snow Moon. -
These photos were taken from my deck. - Ferry Bluff in the background.
Most recently we called it a Full Supermoon. On November 14, 2016, it was the closest to Earth since
January 26, 1948, and the next one like this will not be until
November 25, 2034. When I heard this I thought I remembered taking
supermoon photos a couple years ago. I looked back in my photo files
and turns out it was on Sept. 28th. last year. So from what I can
gather this one
was an extra super supermoon (closer yet).
it certainly earned it's name. it WAS a super moon. was thrilled to see it for 3 nights in a row!! thanks for the lovely photo's over the river
