Description
A blue moon is the appearance of the third full moon in a season that has four full moons, instead of the usual three. It is never visually blue. Because a blue moon occurs only every two or three years, the term blue moon is used colloquially to mean a rare event, as in the phrase "once in a blue moon".
Lake Ontario is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. It is bounded on the north and southwest by the Canadian province of Ontario, and on the south by the American state of New York. Ontario, Canada's most populous province, was named for the lake. In the Wyandot (Huron) language, ontar means Lake of Shining Waters.

Thank you Glenna for your wonderful generous compliment! That part of the lake is deserted at night so it was a great opportunity! I'm glad I had my camera.

Thank you Bedros! The moon has such a magical power over us. Brings light to the dark, a smile on our faces, awe in our consciousness and sometimes.....even romance!

Thank you vey much Sheila! I happened to be at the lake with my camera and out of the corner of my eye I saw the beginnings of the Blue Moon 2012 rising. Going for a walk with camera in hand is always a good idea! I appreciate your lovely comment.
