I installed a Floodlight Camera on our garage over the weekend, and am enjoying seeing what some of the inhabitants of our neighborhood do after dark. Here's a screen shot from a video recorded last night. There was a 4th deer but he isn't in this particular shot.

Really nice photo, Gary!"Shine on, shine on harvest moon."
I was hoping someone might post a pic of the recent full moon; yours shows the moon rising in the evening, I'm guessing?
Since I live in "the inner city", I can't see the eastern horizon because of the houses across the street. But the past few mornings when I took the dog out to the back yard between 5am and 6am on the west side of the house, I've been amazed by the brightness of the moon hanging at an elevation of 40-50 degrees in the western sky.
(The song you quote is also a good one, but technically speaking, I think your photo shows the Hunter's Moon, the first moon after the Harvest Moon, which is the moon that occurs closest to the fall equinox. The only reason I know such trivial trivia is that when I attended graduate school at Purdue in Indiana, the Tippecanoe County Historical Society had a festival in October called the Feast of the Hunter's Moon.

Though I understand the reasoning behind the new rule, it must be a bit satisfying knowing that unscrupulous sellers are getting their knickers in a twist over an emoji.

Thanks Gary. Yes it was rising in the east Monday evening. Yep the Harvest Moon is September's full moon, Hunter's Moon is October's. I couldn't think of a song for the Hunter's Moon!Really nice photo, Gary!

I found this interesting tidbit, from the Farmer's Almanac:
*According to one tradition, which the Old Farmer’s Almanac honors, the Harvest Moon is always the full Moon that occurs closest to the September equinox. Most years, it falls in September; every three years, it falls in October. (Astronomical seasons do not match up with the lunar month.) If the Harvest Moon occurs in October, the September full Moon is usually called the Corn Moon instead. Similarly, the Hunter’s Moon always follows the Harvest Moon. (Note that these last two conditions are not according to Native American tradition.)
