Full Moon of January, or "Wolf Moon" by 


It was a hazy night, and I liked the effect of the moon against the haze. You can see a bit of its radiated light.

From a Night Sky web site:

" The full moon of January is called the Wolf Moon. Its Cree name is Gishepapiwatekimumpizun, meaning “moon when the old fellow spreads the brush.” Other names are Moon After Yule, Ice Moon and Old Moon. In Hindi it is known as Paush Poornima. Its Sinhala (Buddhist) name is Duruthu. The full moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise, the only night in the month when the moon is in the sky all night long. The rest of the month, the moon spends at least some time in the daytime sky."

I have spent most of my career as a French professor and a research librarian, and have been reinventing myself as a writer. I’m currently working on a book. My interest in photography began with the discovery of my friend Bonnie’s beautiful photo gallery on Red Bubble. I never cease to be amazed at the little discoveries one makes of God’s awesome creation.
