Hunter's Moon

Thanks to Bryan I found out that's what this full moon is called. Well, technically, it's no longer full but it still looks it to me. I saw this on the horizon on my drive home from work and it was HUGE then. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera so had to wait til it rose above the trees.

This is dedicated to my good friend in Doddridge County, DonnaR. She has been feeding a deer family for several years. They have become almost tame. One of the males, Spikey, has quite a rack now. Which is not good during hunting season and causes us anxiety every year.

He can be seen here

Nice placement in the frame. I'm amazed that you can do that with a digicam.

Excellent picture and story too Karen, you are always connect them so nicely both.
I really cannot do that on my pictures because English is not my Mother language.

I guess the name goes way back to when hunting for food was necessary & not just for the thrill of the hunt. I hope your friends deer get through without being targeted.
This is a great shot Karen. Love how it's just hanging there above us all.

That monster october moonrise is always a highlight of the year.

Well done, Karen. Fabulous shot of this colorful moon.

This is the best "Hunter's Moon" I have seen so far because you captured the color. Don't like the name however as I feel for the animals.

Great moon shot,Karen.
Guest 19-Oct-2005 10:58
Definitely one of the best moon shots I have seen. I like that you kept the moon off to the side instead of center.
