Full Moon Fun on Labor Day

These pics were taken as I stood on my terrace early this morning.


I call this one "Duality Over The Verrazano Bridge".


The moon turned orange and then there were orbs everywhere. Weird but I could see them.


A second later .. a gust of wind caused the camera to shake creating this spiraling effect.

Full Moon 13° Pisces ~ Full Corn Moon

The September full Moon is usually known as the Full Corn Moon because it traditionally corresponds with the time of harvesting corn. It is also called the Barley Moon because this is the time to harvest and thresh ripened barley. Often, the September Moon is also called the Harvest Moon, but this year the Harvest Moon occurs in October. The Harvest Moon is the Moon that falls nearest the autumnal equinox; this full Moon provides the most light at the time when it's needed most - to complete the harvest!




Coming up this week ... Mercury Retrograde ends as Fashion Week NYC begins. Congress returns (that should be interesting) and football season begins - play ball. We continue to watch our enemies at home and abroad - personal and professional. Wildfires in California peak and a hurricane named Irma sets the stage for drama as she doesn't seem to know whether to make landfall or swing back over the Atlantic. School starts in many states as Houston struggles to clear classrooms and move forward. Thousands of DACA students worry about their future in the only country they have ever called home. Will Trump send them away? Trump has sought to immediately resolve issues that for now have no easy resolution: Immigration, Health Care, Racial and Social Injustice, Tax Reform, Jobs, The Wall, The Opioid Crisis, More... What new drama awaits this week?
