The Beaver Moon rose in the northeast on November 30th. I had to photograph it through the cottonwoods to get its yellow color when it was just above the horizon. A Beaver Moon in cottonwoods seemed most appropriate. This Beaver Moon was also the last penumbral lunar eclipse of the year.

Beautiful!
Thanks, Sarah.
Hi Sarah. I mixed you up with Leah. But I corrected it.
I didn’t like to say but don’t give it a second thought. Happens to me more often than not these days!
Gorgeous 🌸
Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure 🌸
Wow! That is stunning!
Thanks, Leah.
Beautiful! You captured it perfectly
Thanks, Helen.
What a great series. Nicely done, sir.
Thanks, Maj & Sher.
Stunning photos, Tim!
Thanks, Mia.
Those are beautiful images, Tim! I knew you would have good photos of the moon for readers to enjoy. Thank you!
Thanks, Lavinia. I was surprised it was so far north when it came up.
Up at this latitude it rises in the southeast.
Ace photography, Sir!
Thanks, Inchcock.
This is spectacular. Why do they call a Beaver Moon?
Thanks, Holly.
You’re welcome.
I don’t know why it’s called the beaver moon.
Well, I need to know.
Dale looked it up. Tradition it seems.
Tradition ? What kind of tradition?
A tradition of naming full moons. There doesn’t seem to be any real reason other than the November full moon is “traditionally” referred to as the Beaver moon.
maybe A good time to trap Beavers for fur for the winter. Very interesting! 😊
Well that could be.

Ciao Timothy 🙂
Ciao, Simona.
Oh, my goodness… gorgeous shots, Tim. Moon entanglement!!!!
It was entangled for sure. Thanks, Marina.
😉🙂👌
Oh my, this is stunning Timothy.
Thanks, Shey.
Nice !
Absolutely outstanding! Many thanks Timothy and best regards Martina
Thank you, Martina. I’m happy you liked it.
Amazing capture, Tim. The colors are stunning. I caught sight of the nearly full moon the other day, well into the morning hours and still bright against the clear blue sky. Happy Caturday! Hugs.
Thanks, Teagan. Happy caturday.
I was going to ask why Beaver Moon but since you don’t know, I had to look it up 😉
Why Is It Called the Beaver Moon? November’s full Moon was traditionally called the Beaver Moon by a number of Native Americans and colonial Americans. Many Native American groups used the monthly Moons and nature’s corresponding signs as a calendar to track the seasons.
All that to say, lovely shots, Tim!
Hi Dale. It seems like there was no particular reason other than they needed a name for the November moon. Maybe a beaver bit a Native American on the old shin bone under a full moon in November way back in days of old? Thanks for looking it up.
I love that the Native Americans felt the need to call everything something 🙂
It’s nice to have names for things. When Laurie’s parents visited Africa years ago, they asked a native what an animal they saw was called. He replied “food!”
I love that.
and Haha! Too funny on the “food” reference. Laughing.
Gorgeous shot of the Beaver Moon, Tim!
Agree with you here, a setting a Beaver Moon deserves.
Thanks, Randall. I haven’t seen our beavers much lately. The Rio Grande has been very low. However, a new dam went up in the clear ditch which is much-needed beaver activity. Now if the Conservancy will leave it alone.
These are amazing photos. It was a beautiful full moon.
Thanks, Miriam. It was beautiful and very yellow when is was rising.
Bad weather here and missed it. Hope it’s clear for the Christmas star.
Look for the meteor shower on the 13th and 14th. Thanks, Teri.
Glorious shots, Tim. I had to look up Beaver Moon. I love that there is a moon for beavers, although how it got that name is a bit harsh. However, that was a long time ago. We are not pioneers anymore & the beavers still get a moon named after them! YAY!!!!
Nice they have a moon and they built a new dam in the clearwater ditch. Thanks, Resa.
Yay! That’s what beavers do, they build dams!
And they are dam good at it.
Frankly my dear, I give a damn!
wow!
Thanks, Holly.
Glorious Tim 🙂
Thanks, Julie.
