The late afternoon sun was still illuminating the top of trees today in my neighborhood as the moon began to rise. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the full moon will be on Wednesday the 28th of November. November’s full Moon (also called the Full Frost Moon) traditionally was called the Beaver Moon because it was the time to set beaver traps, before the waters of the swamps froze over.

such a beautiful photo with the color of the leaves still visible.
Seeing the moon in the sunlight was surprising to me too, but it was the residual sunlight that lets the colors of the leaves show. I’m still not used to the sun setting so early (around 5:00).
Awesome!
great shot! It’s hard to get a clear moon picture.
Thanks. I deliberately underexposed and hoped for the best. I may try again in the next couple of days when the moon may be even a little fuller.
