Jean Dessellier was at it again, capturing several outstanding photos of the Wolf Moon, the first full moon for 2021. If you’re wondering how the Wolf Moon was named, here’s some interesting information found on the “Old Farmer’s Almanac” webpage:

The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not just to the full Moon itself. It’s thought that January’s full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon, because wolves were more often heard howling at this time.

That's 20 seconds of peacefulness!

I agree...well needed peacefulness!
And all my life, I've never been mooned like that.

BEAUTIFUL pictures, and what an "ahhhhhhhhh"
watching the video!

Hi
Speaking of wolves, the long-running study of
wolves on Isle Royale got cancelled this year.
Per TV9& 10 news:

"The coronavirus pandemic has interrupted an
Isle Royale wildlife study.

Since 1959, a research team has observed
interactions between moose and wolves at the
Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior
every winter. But this year’s study has been
cancelled due to coronavirus concerns.
According to Superintendent Denise Swanke,
researchers use a single cabin, which would not
allow for proper social distancing.

She also says border closure between the United
States and Canada, and a shortage of flight
resources to bring supplies also factored into
cancelling the winter study."

Great pic & video, my days of Howling at the moon
are over I'm afraid!! lol
