Super moon

The beaver moon rising on Nov. 15 as seen from Hinesburg Road. This is the last of four consecutive supermoons, full moons when the moon is closer to the Earth than normal. It’s called the beaver moon because this is the time of year when beavers are getting ready to settle into their lodges until spring. It was also the best time for trappers to hunt them because their furs were ready for winter cold and at their thickest.
