Once in a Blue Moon

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

Moon while, in Mississauga, in addition to its "supermoon" status, this particular full moon was the second to occur in the month of August, the first having occurred on Aug. 1. As a result, the second full moon of August on the 30th, is called a "Blue" moon because it is the 2nd of 2 full moons in a single calendar month. Hence the timeless phrase of yore “once in a blue moon” which is rare. As we all know full moons are separated by 29 days, while most months are 30 or 31 days long; so it is possible at times to fit two full moons in a single month. This happens every two and a half years or so. After playing hide and seek for most of the early evening of yesterday, the moon eventually gave in and let me capture a full image.
