2020 Harvest Moon (October 1, 2020) — Image by kenne
October’s first full moon is the harvest moon on October 1, and the second full moon will occur on October 31. While the moon won’t actually look blue, the second full moon in one month is usually referred to as a blue moon. This happens every 2.5 to three years, or “once in a blue moon.”
Moon over Sabino Canyon three days after the Blue Moon — Image by kenne
Because I have been spending time in the cooler temperatures of Mt. Lemmon, I haven’t been in Sabino Canyon for about a month. After a brief run this morning, I went to check the creek flow (no rain in the canyon, but plenty on the mountains) and photograph barrel cactus flowers — this is the time of year for the barrel cactus to be blooming.
Since I posted a Blue Moon image three days ago, I thought I would capture what remains of it this morning over Sabino Canyon.
A time of dangerous opportunity
A time to discard sacred cows
A time for spiritual renewal
A time of shared empathy
A time of caring
A time to create
A time to mute siren songs
A time to be “danger people.”
This month will have two full moons, August 2nd and August 31st. The second full moon is rare. When people say “once in a blue moon” they are speaking to the rare occurrence of a second moon happening in the same given month.
On the Road to Ruin — An Ode To Danger People
A time of dangerous opportunity
A time to discard sacred cows
A time for spiritual renewal
A time of shared empathy
A time of caring
A time to create
A time to mute siren songs
A time to be “danger people.”
