Full Mule Moon

Published May 27, 2021

I, Bernie Harberts, did not use generative AI to write or illustrate this article. Spell check and grammar check, yes. AI, no.

Last night’s super flower blood moon was accompanied by an eclipse in some parts of the world. We didn’t get the eclipse but caught the beautiful sight from between two pairs of mules’ ears. Just on dark my wife Julia and I rode our mules Brick and Cracker to the top of the mountain behind our cabin. Here are some photos I though you might enjoy.

The super flower blood mule moon rising over the Brushy Mountains. The Brushies, as they’re known, is a low range of mountains just east of the Blue Ridge. What’s amazing is that we only saw one light (barely visible under the rising moon) on the miles-long mountain ridge. Otherwise, it’s all just an ocean of trees you’re looking at.

I hope you enjoyed the moon where ever you are.
