Description
The Full Beaver Moon rises over Port St. Joe, Florida, slicing its way through the partly cloudy sky over St. Joseph Bay.
As the chill air of late fog descends, animals begin to prepare their dens for the deep freeze of winter.
Beavers can be seen along the banks of rivers and streams, collecting wood to shore up their lodges and dams before the ice sets in. This was also the time Native American tribes and later European settlers set beaver traps to ensure a supply of warm furs for winter.
That's why November’s full Moon is most commonly known as the Beaver Moon, in honor of these industrious semi-aquatic rodents.
Because November also signals the time when bitter hard frost’s become more frequent, this month’s Moon is also sometimes called the Frost Moon.

Really, one of the best lunar photographs I've seen in many, many years. Great work, Jurgen!

Such a beautiful scene; one of those that has to be seen on a large screen to appreciate some of the details on the moon's surface.
