I have a passion for the outdoors and I am most happy enjoying what nature has to offer. Hobbies include photography, birding, Pickleball, astronomy, biking, and hiking. I have been happily married, for 50 years, to an amazing person.

Hunter’s Moon is the name for the full moon that immediately follows the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. In 2017, the Northern Hemisphere’s Harvest Moon fell on October 5, nearly 13 days after the September 22 equinox. So it’s a late Hunter’s Moon this year for the Northern Hemisphere. In fact, November 4 is about the latest possible date for a full Hunter’s Moon.
Coincidently, it’s also the 2nd-largest full moon of 2017. As seen from around the world, this full moon will parade across the sky from dusk until dawn. (Taken from Web)

Considering the close proximity to several large cities, Cave Creek Regional Park is “dark”. A great place to star gaze.

What a treat it was to listen, watch and photograph these gorgeous woodpeckers. They were busy building a nest in a Saguaro Cactus in our back “yard”. Go out to this Web-site and listen to their call – Gila
~Cactus Wren, Cave Creek Regional Park, November, 2017
A very curious wren and the largest. There were several that would visit us in our “yard” at Cave Creek, always coming close to the coach and inspecting everything. I just loved watching them.
At least two pair were busy collecting materials for nest building.
Here is a Web-site with some good information on the Cactus Wren: Wren
