15 Sept., 2008 -- Harvest Moon, autumn bound

Well, I did fake it a little. When it came up over town, it really did look that big. Harvest moon, so called because it's the moon closest to the autumnal equinox on Sept. 22. According to Space.com: '"Full Harvest Moon." While this Moon is, on average, no larger or smaller than any
other Full Moon, there is a FALSE impression that this is the biggest, brightest Moon of the year.'

Canada bound: from Austin, Texas. He said they didn't get a drop of rain from Ike.

Furnace bound: Jody & Lloyd clearing up some stuff at the airport before it gets pushed into a pile by the excavation crew that's beginning to move in their equipment.

Butterfly bound: this little fellow will become a monarch butterfly. Seems a little bit late in the season to still be a worm, and he's only an inch long. Look at those antennae! He's chewing on butterfly weed seed pod.
