November 2018 Full Moon Photo From Izena Island Okinawa

Just Home From an Exhausting Trip



It was sort of a whirlwind tour of Izenajima and cameras are downloaded, batteries charging.

The purpose of the trip, wasn't to get full moon photos but, it happened while we were there.

The moon was actually full on the night of the 23rd. Clouds covered it.

But, at 3:40 AM the Beaver Moon was shining, directly over my hotel.

So, I shot it. End of report.

Beaver Moon



That's what it's called in the USA. We'll just stick with Full Moon on Okinawa.

That way, not so many people may get offended!

It's been a busy week and there are several hundred photos of this bird in the pending files.

About to make another excursion at sea, I'm packing the bags tonight.

Traveling light, I won't take a computer but, may have some iPhone access.

Enjoy the weekend and, we'll see if I have anything exciting to post Monday.
