Rose Moon - July 2020


Enjoyed watching the full moon rise out of the lake. Spectacular! We were anchored just east of Bluffers with Caroline on Ruby Tuesday; Alex and Aldo on Alcione. A perfect summer evening, only slight ripples on the water. Aldo took this photo and shared it with me later - my phone had dunked in the lake and I was without a camera.

Often known as Thunder Moon, Honeymoon or Hay Moon. Another European name is the Rose Moon, (although some use this name for the June full Moon). Some sources indicate the name "Rose Moon" comes from the roses that bloom in late June. Others report that the name comes from the color of the full Moon this time of year. It certainly had a rosy glow.
