Anishnabe and Ojibway call the eighth moon the Blackberry or Thimbleberry Moon. We were at the dock in Waupoos, watching the moon rise and then almost balance itself on top of Alcyione's mast, (Alex R and Aldo's boat).
A few days later, we were off to Duck Island with Alcyione. The moon still full in the sky, steadying itself among the bobbing anchor lights.
This is the time of year for the Persaids meteors, so I have been lifting my gaze at night toward the heavens. Lucky to see some real beauties streaking through the sky, leaving stardust in their trail.
