The Hunters Moon At Pier 60 by D Hackett
I took an early morning road trip to Clearwater Beach so that I could see the Full Hunters Moon over Pier 60. It was really worth getting up early!

Also known as a sanguine or Blood moon, the term Hunters Moon is used traditionally to refer to a full moon that appears during the month of October. It is preceded by the appearance of a Harvest Moon, which is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox (which falls on the 22nd or 23rd of September).
The Hunters Moon typically appears in October, except once every four years when it doesnt appear until November. The name dates back to the First Nations of North America. It is so-called because it was during the month of October, when the deer had fatted themselves over the course of the summer, that hunters tracked and killed prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the coming winter.
