Wolf Moon


I took this photo Saturday night. I hope you like it. Here is a little information on the Wolf Moon. The full moons were given names by the Native American in what is now the Northern and Eastern United States. The Algonguin Tribe named the full moons to keep track of the seasons. There have been some variations from tribe to tribe, but basically they are very close to the original. The early settlers continued the use of the names. Following is a list of these names: January---Wolf Moon

February--Snow Moon

March-----Worm Moon

April-----Pink Moon

May-------Flower Moon

June------Strawberry Moon

July------Buck Moon

August----Sturgeon Moon

September-Corn Moon

October---Harvest Moon

November--Beaver Moon

December--Cold/Long Night Moon
