Tigerlily Moon

I have spent the last few nights watching the waxing gibbous moon grow to full. The skys have been unusably clear and the the nights pleasantly cool, not the usual heat and humidity that lead me to call this the "Green Bread Moon". Last nights moon rose through a haze of thin clouds, looking soft and other worldly, but just out of 'phocus' in the photo. Reality can get in the way at the most inconvenient times. I watched , and drifted along with it.
The tigerlilies, are so beautiful this year, that when i was out running errands I had to stop and just look at them, and wonder why this wasn't called the tigerlily moon. So onto Google where I found this wonderful list. A list of names I want to add the Tigerlily Moon to.
