Harvest season is behind us yet last night as I looked out our front window, this harvest moon graced the night sky. I did a little research about it and once every four years, it occurs in October in the northern hemisphere. Currently, the latest possible harvest moon is on October 11.

So I guess what I saw wasn’t a harvest moon, but just a brightly lit yellowish full moon.

It took my husband and I about 20 minutes of researching camera settings to get this just right so it didn’t look like a ball of fire against a black canvas. Thanks to Google, we figured it out.

That’s one of the many joys of living in the country – I feel like the moon and stars are closer to Earth here, unclouded by city lights and smog.

Until we walk again …
