"Clear skies meant hundreds of people across the south of England, UK, were able to see the spectacle of the Buck Moon as it rose on Sunday.
Each full moon of the year is given a nickname and Buck Moon is the name given to the full moon in July.
The name comes from the time of year when buck deer grow their antlers.
The full moon rose at about 22:00 BST and set during the early hours of Monday.
The moon looks larger when close to the horizon due to an optical illusion.
It also appears orange due to the angle it is viewed through the Earth's atmosphere."

I've just shown one wonderful picture. I thought the silhouettes against it looked good and I can see a cat there 😊 Other pictures can be seen on this link here
Once you've looked at them, do please share your favourite in the comments.
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteWow Jan. Those moon shots are incredible. I missed it too!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see it either as I fell asleep pretty early last night. I bet it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI missed it! I like the photo you shared with the silhouette.
ReplyDeleteBella luna y la de la foto. Y yo si la vi. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteI used to keep better track of moon phases, but I missed this one entirely 😢
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous. It has been too cloudy to see the moon here.
ReplyDeleteDriving home late on Saturday night I saw the largest moon I've ever seen. No opportunity to take a photo. Didn't think to.look on Sunday night.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that Jan.
ReplyDeleteThe moon is special
ReplyDeleteWe didn't see it but I enjoyed looking at the photographs. My favourite was the one behind the Needles.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see it either. I think the photo of the moon rising through Durdle Door is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteNo la he visto, aunque también se debe a que no he salido a la calle. Se está mejor en el interior de la vivienda, con el aire acondicionado puesto, que paseando por la calle, ya que aún de noche, hace ahora demasiado calor.
ReplyDeleteQue tengas un buen dÃa.
It was cloudy here, I saw it this morning looking beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Lovely photo and silhouette on that full moon. I saw the full moon in Philadelphia!
ReplyDeleteI "might" have seen it...I took our pup, Libby out around 3am...glanced up then around casually...then we went back inside...I thought something didn't look quite right!

Missed it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of the buck moon.
ReplyDeleteI did see it but had no idea that it was called a Buck Moon - thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was able to take photos of the Buck Moon 2 nights in a row.
ReplyDeleteI hated opening the door to mosquitoes, but bug spray helped.
Yes, there's a cat, how nice. Here it just rained and rained....
ReplyDeleteAfter 2 nightshifts on Fri and Sat night, I was dead to the world on Sun night. I did see some cool things when I finished up on early Sun morning around 4am. Sure I saw Venus too.
ReplyDeleteDidn't see it, cloudy here.
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteHere we have seen it coming out of the horizon of the Atlantic that I have a few meters away. It is a beautiful spectacle!
ReplyDeleteI only saw it white and bright shining through my bedroom window as I was going to sleep. Alas, no shadows -- or maybe I was too tired to see them~!

I haven't seen it, although it's also because I haven't gone outside. It is better to be inside the house, with the air conditioning on, than walking down the street, since even at night, it is now too hot.
Have a nice day.
that is a very cool picture of it with the silhouette.
ReplyDeleteTambién la he visto por aquÃ, se veÃa preciosa. Besos.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the Buck moon but I think the picture you chose to show was amazing. I did look at the others but it was difficult to choose a favourite.
