The "Hunter's Moon"

by Cathy Grafton on 10/12/11

Wow, last night was a lovely hazy full moon, rising over the trees.  When I woke up this morning, there it was, getting all orangish again as it went down.  The full moon is always a treat to see and in the fall with all the leaves changing color, it is even more dramatic.  My first historic festival, was and still it called "the Feast of the Hunter's Moon" however, this year it was several weeks ago - these days the reality of Purdue Home football games, trumps having the Feast on a weekend when there is a home game, so we pretend the Moon is full - even when it isn't.


Still in October each year the Hunter's Moon comes along, great and golden filling the sky on a crisp fall night - and I love watching it come up.

This is a nice portrait. I think you are one who loves the moon.
