Did you know that the Harvest Moon is the name for the full moon that occurs closest to the Autumnal Equinox on any given year?

So it changes from year to year…….hmmmmmmmmm.

I did not know that.

Cool…

Usually September’s Moon is also known here as the Corn Moon or the Barley Moon.

But this year it was the Harvest Moon and it also fell on Friday the Thirteenth…

Even cooler…

And a full moon on Friday the Thirteenth won’t happen again until 2049…

I don’t think I’ll have to worry about that one from my present animation…

I’d expect I would have sprung from the springs of this mortal coil by then…

However, full moons here in the swamp are really pretty in their remoteness.

Last night when I stood out on the back porch (still unfinished) to appreciate the full moon, I was serenaded by an owl from somewhere in the back swamp…….

…..while also being abused by the slobbering muzzles of my Irish Wolfhound friends who were also appreciating the moon’s beauty…….

…..or maybe they were just afraid of the owl…
