Happy Moon Monday! What exactly is that, you ask? Well, like I said two weeks ago, I'm sharing some moon pictures, and today is Monday!

I started taking pictures every month of the full moon back in March 2015, and seemed to recall I had a pretty good streak of getting shots of the full moon for a number of months in a row. And while in my first Moon Monday post, I said...

....and the streak ended... well, I don't quite remember. I figure we can find out together. So for the next handful of weeks, I'll share full moon photos, one for each month, until I find a month without one.

...I discovered pretty quickly that I only made it until September 2016 before I missed a month (thanks to a bum knee). However, I started again for November 2016 so I decided to just keep going for it.

Now since I already know my streak got broken, and since I had a hard time choosing between shots some months, for this post I have 18 of my favorite moon captures from 2017.

Also, all of these shots were taken with my Nikon (which I talk about in this post) whilst making use of my handy dandy tripod.

Full Moons in 2017!

1. January 2017 Full Wolf Moon

1. January again, resting on some tree branches

2. February, a few minutes after an eclipse, with some hazy cloud cover and behind the trees

2. February Full moon moon bow

3. March, behind the branches

3. March - this is one of a few composite photos I've created, and I'm including it because it was done in March 2017 using two of my March 2016 photos of a crow and the full moon.

4. April full moon framed by the tree branches

alt
5. May - another miss. This one was taken the night after full, because of a storm on the night of.

alt
6. June Full Honey Moon

alt
7. July - another stormy month, but the clouds parted long enough for me to get some shots

alt
8. August Moon is shy, hiding her face behind the tree

alt
9. September Moon

alt
10. October Full moon rising behind the trees

alt
10. October Full moon high in the sky

alt
11. November - I had another bat encounter (like in August 2016), but this time there were 4 bats flying past the moon! At first glance, it only looks like 3, but if you look closely, you can see the fourth at the very bottom of the moon, just off the edge.

11. November's moon playing peek-a-boo with the clouds

12. December, and the moon wanted another go round of peek-a-boo. Who am I to say no? 😊
