#greencornmoon

8/20/21 - Nearly full moon. Some say this is the Blue Moon of August, but it is also called the Sturgeon Moon, Green Corn Moon (the corn is super high!) or the Grain Moon.

"Not quite full" Tonight will be the full moon and it's looking like it will be a spectacular sight; if this shot of last nights moon is any indication. "Some Native American tribes called the August Moon the “Sturgeon Moon” because they knew that the sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this Full Moon. They also called August’s Moon the “Full Green Corn Moon.”  Different tribes had different Moon name preferences. Other examples for August are: “Wheat Cut Moon” (San Ildefonso, and San Juan), or “Moon When All Things Ripen” (Dakotah Sioux) or “Blueberry Moon” (Ojibway)." http://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-august-2016 #fullmoon #almostfullmoon #augustmoon2016 #moon #ojibway #dakotahsioux #sanildefonso #greencornmoon #sturgeonmoon #blueberrymoon #exploreokanagan #kelownanow #tourismvernon #vernonisawesome #landscape #whereIlive #okanaganvalley #solarsystem #phasesofthemoon #lunarcycle #natgeovisual #OurPlanetDaily (at My Life Photography)
