RED MOON OVER MADISON, FLORIDA

trucksandmoon 011 (2)f2

Photo and Text by Pat Lightcap

As the moon reached just past it’s highest arc on Thursday, June 9, 2011 it was red rather than the colors we are used to for a half-moon. This writer
will venture the cause of the color is related to smoke in the air from any number of wildfires in South Georgia
and North Florida. It is not the end of the world!!!
