Buck Moon rising through fireworks on July 4th, 2020. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the July full moon gets its name as early summer is when male deer grow new antlers; it also goes by thunder moon, guru moon and hay moon. Really hadn’t planned on taking any full moon pics, but when it rose above the trees it was so beautiful, why not get the tripod out to try and catch a few. While focusing and setting up, some fireworks started going off which made it very interesting for a few minutes.
