This Full Moon

45°f/7.2°C, a few clouds, but clearing.

Hunter's Moon

How can I sleep

when the night is lit 

with your shining,

quicksilvered trees,

glistening grass, even

the wild deer gilded

before they flee?

Downside: I can't sleep when the moon is full.

Upside: sometimes I write, in my head, and sometimes I remember to put it on paper in the morning.

A full moon can be blamed for many strange human behaviors (ask any hospital emergency room worker!) For example, here's a few things that have happened/are happening in West Virginia this month:

There's slackliners, who have tried for years for a photo like this at Seneca Rocks, West Virginia:

If you Google Seneca Rocks Moon Walk 2026 you can find many more photos by this group.

This is the first time I had heard of slacklining. People do the most amazing things for fun.

But West Virginia is also known for catapulting people off a very high bridge. Can't blame this one on the moon!

And of course, our famous Pumpkin House. Click here see my photos from our visit there in 2018. Astonishing!

Anything odd happening where you are?
