This photo was taken by Christina during an evening walk with her dog, Cookie.
It was the full moon of July, and the moon had risen high, illuminating the sky with a bright, clear light.
Although it was just a simple moment, something in the atmosphere made her pause and capture it. A small break in the routine, framed by the night sky.
The full moon of July is also known as the “Buck Moon,” a name given by Native American tribes, as it marks the period when deer grow new antlers. During a full moon, the Moon is positioned directly opposite the Sun, making its entire illuminated side visible from Earth. If two full moons occur in July, the second one is called a “Blue Moon” — a relatively rare event.
