August's supermoon blue moon.
A blue moon happens when there are two full moon's in the same month, it does not refer to the color of the moon. A supermoon happens when the moon's orbit is closest to the earth, making it appear larger.
'Sturgeon' is the name historically given by Native Americans to the full August moon. It was called that because sturgeon was most easily caught in the Great Lakes at this time of summer. This fish was important to Native American tribes, who relied on sturgeon for winter food resources.
My kids got some great moon photos of the moon rising out of Lake Michigan.
These are mobile phone photos taken by my son with a Google Pixel phone.
The structure you see out on the lake is one of the water cribs built in the 1800's to house and protect offshore water intakes used to supply the City of Chicago and 118 suburbs with drinking water from Lake Michigan.

My daughter-in-law carried her camera gear to the lake shore, but was disappointed with the images she captured.
My daughter took these photos of the moon over a Wisconsin soybean field with her Pixel phone.
The next blue moon will be in May of 2026.
Once in a blue moon! 🌚

It’s funny as I was talking to someone about moongraphy (new word) earlier today and it’s quite difficult to do. We’re up in Snowdonia next month and hoping for a very good moon and maybe star trails. Naturally I’ll share here.

Thanks for the support!
Really cool pictures, I totally forgot about it happening. Even if I was outside my cell phone would have caught horrible photos, hehe
Even though I have the same phone, I am not nearly as proficient with taking photos with it as my kids are!
I fall into that category especially in the dark I just don't always understand the technology or just don't always have an act for it. Generations after us grew up taking pictures with their phones. It was maybe 10 years ago when I finally got a smart phone, hehe.
I just enjoy taking photos with my Canon camera and have not learned the settings available on my phone camera.
I so need to purchase a good camera someday 😊
Sublime moon!
Thanks! It was. !INDEED

Great shots! We were preparing here, too, but there was a thick veil of clouds, and nothing came through. 😒
That's disappointing. !INDEED
We had some clouds, but the moon was able to peek between them.

Cool shots 👍 I like the fourth shot best with the red moon over Lake Michigan. Its fun when you and your family can see the same sky from different places. A reminder the bigger universe out there.
Not as sexy as over Lake Michigan 😉
It is pretty cool that we are all looking at the same moon, no matter where we are in the world!
Soy bean fields have their own charm! 😂
We had the same moon here in our place. Took some photos too for a future post. It's very surreal to just know we can actually see the same thing from across the world. Great shots 👌
Thanks for sending me the moon after it visits you! 😘

Thanks! Some of these shots are incredible!
Wow! Interesting, I didn't know about this but the Moon is indeed beautiful and rising from that Lake in majesty.
Amazing pictures!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed them

Those are pretty fantastic moon photograph!
What does it mean? Is that like, 1st of August one full moon and 29 of August another?
!PIZZA
Yes. The second one in the same month is called a Blue Moon. It occurs infrequently.
Look at that magnificent Orb rising from beyond the horizon! Look at its beautiful flaming colours. This is indeed a Super Blue Moon.

I love all these moon photos.
Interesting how the phone took as good of photos as a nice camera. I have tried to take moon photos with my phone when it was beautiful and bright, but my phone doesn't really handle the BRIGHT light in the dark, so they are never good.
Fun share !
