Black and White Reflections - Blue Moon

On Friday, August 31 we have what is called a “blue moon”. The next time we get the chance to glimpse this phenomenon will be in 2015. Those expecting to see the moon change color will be disappointed. The term simply refers to the unusual occurrence of a second full moon within one calendar month, and since we already had a full moon on August 2, this is a blue moon, and the first seen in the United States since December 2009.

Julie said... [Reply to comment]: Is it different in the USA to elsewhere, or do we all get a blue moon in August. Did we get, seeing August is done and dusted. My lens is not zoomy enough for me to attempt the moon.; Saturday, September 01, 2012

genie said... [Reply to comment]: Bill...I am so glad to see a great capture of the blue moon. I had just gotten a cortisone shot in my hip for bursitis so was unable to haul myself and the tripod out there. Yours turned out to be a fabulous shot.. Kudos to you . genie; Sunday, September 02, 2012
