Pink Moon And Star Trails Dash Across White Rock Sky

Pink Moon and star trails viewed early Saturday morning above White Rock. ‘While the name ‘Pink Moon’ might suggest a rosy-colored moon, the reality is a bit less magical. The name comes from the early spring bloom of a wildflower native to eastern North America: Phlox subulata, commonly known as creeping phlox or moss phlox. This flower, often called ‘moss pink’ was in full bloom around April’s full moon. Source: www.almanac.com. Photo by Nancy Ann Hibbs
