Tonight’s Full Pink Moon

fullpinkmoon

“Full Pink Moon” is the name of the full moon in April. According the the Farmer’s Almanac, “this name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.”

This image came from my iphone.. I shot some photos with my digital camera, but alas, I am visiting family for the weekend and forgot to bring my cable to connect it to the computer.. Hoping those will come out better.

I was sitting on my deck last night with my citronella candle burning and a drink in hand (in a ball jar — they are easier to wash because you can actually fit your hand in them to scrub the bottom) and I was watching the flame through the jar and decided it was iphone photo worthy… and there you have it.
