Here we see November’s Full Moon as it finally appeared in clear skies last night. It had undergone a partial lunar eclipse earlier yesterday morning – an eclipse that we didn’t see here because of torrential rains.
This moon was named the Beaver Full Moon by native Americans because it appeared during their beaver trapping season, when humans in this area needed fur to protect them from November’s freezes.
We have yet to have a hard freeze here this month, although the temperatures have temporarily dipped below freezing during some nights and mornings. It is a chilly (but not painful) 34 degrees (F) as this is written. (Image taken in Brooklin, Maine, on November 19, 2021.)
