Freaky Friday: BLUE MOON in Mars :)
See original shot HERE
See a winning moment HERE :)

The term blue moon has at least four related meanings.

One is a common metaphorical phrase for a rare event. Full moons are given names in folklore, and two definitions of blue moon are a name for a rare full moon that does not have a folk name.

One modern blue moon definition is a result of a misinterpretation of the Maine Farmer's Almanac, where a second full moon occurs in a calendar month.

The older definition of blue moon is for an extra full moon that occurs in a quarter of the year, which would normally have three full moons but sometimes has four.

Oddly, it is the third full moon in a season that has four which is counted as the "extra" other full moon and named blue moon.

According to certain folklore, it is said that when there is a blue moon, the moon has a face and talks to the items in its moonlight.

Hi Fred,
Wonderful montage! This is a nice idea for the theme! So different and original. By opposition, these warm colors make a great counterpoint at the subtle blue touch on the moon.
Very informative note! Bravo! Annie
