Uruguay is below the equator and that messes with my brain when it comes to seasons, holidays, and weather.  It's March - my body thinks it's spring, yet it will be fall soon here in Uruguay and hence the Harvest Moon.  But here's a brain freeze - why is it a Harvest Moon in the States, as well?  
     When I was little, the Harvest Moon and a Blue Moon were the only moons that were NAMED.  There was no Snow Moon, Pink Moon, Wolf Moon, Strawberry Moon, etc.  The Harvest Moon was always in the fall.  I know I'm right!  Where did all these named moons come from?  Do we really need a name for the same old moon every month?
     My elementary school, South Elementary, had a Harvest Moon festival every October.  My little elementary heart loved that festival.  It began in the late afternoon and continued into the evening.  There were cake-walks in the cafeteria, games outside until dark, and singing in the auditorium. 
     I've come to like my moon shots!  If you're interested in photographing the moon, here's my recipe:  ISO 100-200 (no higher, it's not needed), Aperture f/8, Shutter Speed 1/200.  I use a tripod and a remote release trigger for the shutter release.  I have a used Nikon D7100 and an old Tokina 400mm lens that I got on eBay for very little $$.
