Wolf Moon by Bev Bonge-Ganser at Little Ripley Lake

Tom Ganser writes, “I took a photo of January 13th’s full “Wolf Moon” shortly after its rising and shortly before its setting from Acorn Ridge.  Bev sent me a photo she took of the “Wolf Moon” from our cabin’s porch facing Little Ripley Lake.”

Our thanks to Tom and Bev for sharing these beautiful pictures.

From BBC:

The full Moon has many different names throughout the year. We normally have 12 full Moons a year, each with its own informal nickname.

January’s full Moon is also called the Wolf Moon, because it’s thought wolves howled more at this time of year as there was less food in the middle of winter.
