When I awoke to visit the facilities at 5:17 this morning, I grabbed the phone from the bedside table and shot the moon. It was the full, Sturgeon Moon, hanging there right in the middle of the window. It pleased me to see it and to capture this unexpected photo
As an added bonus, I was able to get back to sleep until almost 7. Sleepwatch thusly informs me that I exceeded my sleep goal of 6 hours and 30 minutes by 15 whole minutes. This infrequent achievement pleased me too, but not as much as the Sturgeon Moon did, Granted, 6.5 hours is a rather modest goal, but it is one that I at least have a chance or making.
That's great when you can get back to sleep!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it called a Sturgeon Moon?

Delete“ The August Full Moon is here...and it's called the Sturgeon Moon. Named by Indigenous tribes for the time when sturgeon fish were most abundant in North American lakes, this moon symbolizes resilience, abundance & deep reflection.”
It was a beautiful golden moon.
ReplyDeleteI saw it at 12:30, but most of the night was cloudy. Congrats on extra sleep minutes!
