"This “Strawberry Moon” name has been used by Native American Algonquian tribes that live in the northeastern United States as well as the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples to mark the ripening of “June-bearing” strawberries that are ready to be gathered. The Haida term Berries Ripen Moon reflects this as well. As flowers bloom and early fruit ripens, June is a time of great abundance for many." ~The Old Farmers Almanac

Last night's full moon was caught up in a haze as it was rising, so faint you couldn't see it. So worth the wait when it finally appeared.
"The June moon is a reminder that beauty can be found in the simplest moments."
