The May full moon rose here out of our southwestern ocean horizon yesterday evening. It was a cloudy and foggy evening at first, as you see here.
But it cleared up by the time that the craggy old moon was lighting up Great Cove. (See the image in the first Comment space.) The moon’s ascendance last night was complete with an extended performance by our coyote tabernacle choir that kept us awake.
The May full moon usually is called the “Flower Moon,” which reportedly is a Colonial translation of what our Native Algonquin Americans called it. It’s an apt name. Around here buds are bursting into blossoms everywhere, especially in the old apple trees. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on May 23-24, 2024.)
