I love full moons.  They are so beautiful and haunting…

(October 3 on the West Coast)
The Harvest Moon is the full Moon nearest the autumnal equinox and is so named because it is often bright enough to allow finishing all the harvest chores. At this time, crops such as corn, pumpkins, squash, and wild rice are ready for gathering – Farmer’s Almanac
