Woke up at 5 to get to the lake to shoot the moon setting. I wanted to get it touching the water but there were clouds low on the horizon. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #naturalwaunder #natureperfection #explore #exploretocreate #theoutbound #simplyadventure #openmyworld #fullmoon #neverstoptraveling #lensbible #optoutside #liveyouradventure #getoutside #ohio #travelgram #iglandscape #landscapehunter #moon #beautifulplaces #awesomeearth #nakedplanet #neverstopexploring #moonset #wanderlust #naturelovers

The "Flower Moon" appeared at 6:45 a.m. ET, according to NASA.

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac , some Native American tribes call it a "Flower Moon" because of the supposed large number of flowers that bloom in May.

NASA said the moon is also known as the Corn Planting Moon, Milk Moon, and the Vesak Festival Moon.
