Live at the foot of the mountain and you’ll never get bored of your view.

The July full moon, shown below last night, is sometimes called the Buck Moon because it appears at the time that velvety new antlers grow on young bucks’ heads.

This young buck has been hanging around the farm lately, and he made an appearance at the wood’s edge right on schedule for his full moon, which rose last night over Buck Mountain and was so bright it kept me awake until 2:00 a.m.

I was standing in the driveway in my pajamas around 10:00 p.m. last night taking photos of the supermoon rising over Buck Mountain. When I shoot at night I usually use the self timer on the camera to avoid any camera shake that would come from depressing the shutter button during long exposures. While the shutter was open a random car turned around in my driveway and I caught it on film…along with the supermoon.
