Just because it is Tuesday I will post a shot of the extremely rare "Aardvark Moon"! What I went out for was an image of a full moon rising with reflections on Lake Ontario. I wasn't expecting this. More details on Alt text #photography #EastCoastKin
Looks like a tapir moon ๐
@bpal.bsky.social - new Lunacy inspo for you.
Wow
Many thanks!
It's fiery and beautiful Dave ๐๐๐๐
Thanks Roisin!
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!! I knew he would come!
LoL - I can hear John Byner ripping off Jackie Masonโs voice chasing that ant through the sky ๐
๐
This is amazing. Spectacular shot
With a tiny mouse riding behind its ears.
That could be! Thanks!
Very cool
Thanks Joanne!
๐ฒ
What a cool shot.
Thanks Nancy!
Moon animals. Like cloud animals, but less puffy๐ love it. ๐๐ธ
yes...."less puffy" ๐
Breathtakingly beautiful shot!
Many thanks Beck!
Youโre truly welcome. Not many photos make me want to print it and put it in my home. This is definitely one of them.
Truly a clear sign of the Aardvarkalypse
For sure. We should go into hiding for a while....
Wow.
Many thanks!
Great picture!
Thanks John!
is this edited? or was this in-camera
All in camera 100%! about 45 seconds after this, the full moon appeared above the clouds that gave the moon this shape.
๐
Ain't pareidolia cool? Nice shot.
Cool! I just learned a new word! Thanks!
Sweet. Check out apophenia too.
And another new word! thanks!
๐๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ Looks like a map of Canadian territory on the Moon... ๐
It does a bit!
The rare Canadian tapir.
Indeed!
It should have been a pink panther moon
Wow
many thanks!
Wow ๐
How cool, Dave! ๐
Thanks Robyn!
Thatโs awesome!
Thanks Sabine!
Youโre welcome โบ๏ธ
Absolutely beautiful ๐
Thanks Hilary!
My pleasure ๐
A bit creepy, but a lot beautiful!
Thanks!
Thats so awesome! Can only imagine how cool it wouldve been to see in person
It truly was! Confusing at first I'll admit!
Imagine if the clouds also moved to make it look like its lifting its nose
๐๐
Superb!
Thanks Robert!
BREATH TAKING ~ GASP! ๐
Thanks Tracey!

Many thanks!
Look at God!!!๐
Many thanks.
this is so amazing!! thanks so much for sharing!
Many thanks!
Wow!
Thanks Deborah!
Youโre welcome
looks more tapir-ish.
Beat me to it.
I get my Aardvarks and Tapirs confused all the time.
Hmmm. Iโm thinking Tapir Moon, but what do I know? ;)
either works for me....but Aardvark sounds cooler!
That's pretty wicked...
Many thanks!
Wooow!
thanks so much!
Just gorgeous. Well done.
Thanks Dex!
Not an Aardvark. It's a Macrauchenia, with Winnie-the-Pooh riding on his back. ๐
Mauaโdib
โAnd I say โHey!โ (Hey!) What a wonderful kind of dayโฆโ
Thanks Jeff!
Wow!
Spooky!
Very artistic.
๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐
In the beginning was the word. And the word was aadvark.
All hail the Aardvark!
Amazing
Thanks!
This deserves framing.
Good idea!
Spectacular!
I'd say it's a once in a lifetime experience!
I have never seen it in 68 years on this planet!
Wow, coolest moon shot I've seen Dave! Incredible ๐
Many thanks! I have quite a few but they are all round and look like everyone else's!
It IS an aardvark! ๐
Love it!!!
Many thanks!
Thatโs pretty!
Thanks Chris!
hmmm...might be!
The first thing I saw was Tiny Clanger too.
I must live under a rock... never heard of a clanger before!
If youโre British and grew up in the 70s itโs a major and wonderful part of your childhood. Canโt imagine it travelled well as it was peculiarly British. Michael Palin voiced a lovely remake about 10 years ago. Great photo by the way. See also the Soup Dragons and Blue String Pudding.
I'm off that age but grew up in Canada. As a mature adult now I only watch BBC... and some CBC!
Thatโs truly spectacular ๐
Thanks Tony!
I've always thought photography, of this type, is a combination of observation and timing! Looks like you've got both! Excellent Imageโฃ๏ธ
Thanks so much!
Ah, yes, the title screen from my favorite JRPG of the 16-bit era.
โTapir Moonโ?
Sorry that was me I just took some bites out of the moon.
No worries! Thanks!
Looks like a ๐ Beautiful
Many thanks!
No ty ๐ฅฐ
WOW!
Thanks Kathleen!
You may see an Aardvark, But I see Rodan. We are not the same.
Looks like a rat
Definitely an aardvark. Or a tapir. I shudder at the sight of a rat!
๐คญ thatโs awesome!
That is SO COOL!!! What a photo to get! โค๏ธ๐๐งก๐๐๐
i love you aardvark moon
Many thanks!
Earth Pig rising!
something is happening!
Looks more like a #Clanger moon!
Many thanks!
Stunningโฆgreat capture!
Many thanks!
My first thought was a fish...
Thanks!
Wow , What a fabulous shot of the moon๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ Thank you so much๐
Thanks Mozelle!
Sir , I thank you ๐ What an amazing gift you've given me. I'm a Moon Baby๐๐ถ
Wow! Stunning.
Bad the fuck ass dude. That color scheme is mmnf
How beautiful!
Awesome!
Itโs not easy to catch an aardvark moon! ๐๐ค
That is stunningโฆThank you for sharing
Thank you and it was my pleasure!
It's a rorschach test!
Cโmon @davesadventures.bsky.social thatโs a Mr. Snuffleupagus moon if Iโve ever seen one!
Drat! I am not the best when it comes to identifying different species! I stand corrected! ๐
Thatโs cute
Beautiful photo. I was instantly curious thinking it was some sort of newly discovered sea creature from the depths of some ocean.
I am about 60 % sure it is the moon. No need for alarm ๐
Lovely โบ๏ธ
Thanks Clare!
WOW ๐๐คฉ
Thanks!
Awesome
Many thanks!
What does it MEAN, please?๐
It must be a warning if some kind!
We donโt have Aardvarks in Australia and it took a while to โsee itโ, thank you๐
We don't have them in Canada either. IN fact, I don't know where they live!
Somewhere in Latin America. I reckon๐
amazing pic!!!!
Very kewl!
Thanks Dave!!
That is one hell of a shot!! Glad you posted it.
Many thanks!
You're very welcome.๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ as well.
How beautiful
The largest satellite of earth; showing it's relationship and splender to sun and and earth. Let's keep this splendor and relationship good by stopping all stupid human tricks caused by Greed (a mixture of seeking: power, prestiage and property ). Mother Earth is an Independant Enity who reacts
Neat!
Stunning photo. I donโt know my moon phases. Whenโs the โGnu Moonโ?
๐
๐
Whoa!!โฆdramatically unexpected!
Thanks! It sure was!
The aardvark moon is a well known portend of doom. Timely photo.
I was afraid of that!
spectacular photo๐
Many thanks!
๐
Awesome
Thanks Sharon!
This made me smile! Thank you ๐
I'm glad! Thanks!
Amazing wowww
Extraordinary!
thanks Francis!
Wellโฆโฆ.that is just fucking AWESOME
Thanks Melissa! ๐
That is very cool! Now tell the aardvark to get to work snuffing out all the parasites at the White House.
I saw a goldfish.
Amazing shots, Dave! Congratulations!
Thanks Paul!
Wow!
Thanks Theresa!
๐๐ป
That is awesome!
Thanks Anthony!
Your welcome. And to all our friends up in Canada ๐จ๐ฆ, please donโt blame all of us in the USA ๐บ๐ธ for the craziness going on. A majority of America ๐บ๐ธ did not vote for this.
We totally get that! I feel so bad for our many friends in the US who are such decent people! On the other hand I have an uncle and 2 cousins in the deep south who wear the red hat and won't speak to me!
Well I appreciate your comments. I love Canada ๐จ๐ฆ. My family and I have so many wonderful memories of our many trips to your country. I hope that in the future, any damage done to our respective countries relations can be restored.
I hope so too!
Incredible photo
Many thanks!
Um, that is clearly a tapir moon! The aardvark moon can only be seen in the southern hemisphere in August of leap years after the monsoons, but before more monsoons. Then you have to factor in the angle of the dangle. It's simple science.
Never was any good at that stuff ๐
It's cool. There are too many moons to keep track of these days. I think the Rejected Recycling Moon and the Left Shoe Is Too Tight Moon coming up in a few weeks. Both should be spectacular!
Will keep my eye out!
The coolest full moon ๐
thanks Andrew!
You are welcome, Dave๐
So beautiful!
Thanks Jennifer!
Gorgeous
Many thanks!
Beautiful โค๏ธ
Thanks Annie!
Youโre welcome Dave! Iโve been shooting pictures all my life and love great photos!!
A Canadian aardvark?
Definitely Canadian! Oh wait, it was over NY state... hmm.
Lovely Lake Ontario ๐
It is!
I used to live on it's shore, in New York.
I have lived within sight of the lake for most of my adult life in the Canadian side. I think our times of sailing over to the NY side for the weekend might be over. ๐
I will always respect the sovereign nation of Canada and the wonderful people who believe in human rights. ๐บ๐ธโค๏ธ๐จ๐ฆ
I love the Aardvark Moonโฆ so rarely sighted in Canadaโฆ
WOW!!! ๐คฉ ๐คฉ๐คฉ
Thanks Michelle!
Very similar to the reddish "Tapir" moon
Definitely related!
Aardvark? Oh, I thought it was the lesser spotted mouse riding a Eurasian badger moon. I feel foolish now. Lovely photo BTW.
Well done, sir!
Thanks so much! I don't get called "sir" very often! Other names, yes....
Super cool, Dave!
Many thanks!
Mmmmm 10/10 on the gay scale! Congrats!
Pure magic Dave ๐
Many thanks!
Wow, I've snapped some ok moon shots over the years but this is just awesome. Would you mind if I shared it to a UK nature FB page please,
Thanks and you are welcome to!

Wonderful image ๐
Thanks Suz!
Wow!
Thanks Suzanne!
Awesome!
Wow!
thanks Bella!
Didn't see the aardvark until you mentioned it... now I can only see the aardvark and can't see the moon. Lol.
sorry about that!
Stunning!
Thanks Ivelina!
Wow what's making it shape like that?
It is clouds on the horizon. I couldn't even tell they were there until the moon started rising!
Great shot! I've never seen an "aardvark moon" before now๐
Is that a mouse riding on his back?
I would say yes!
Stunning ๐
Thanks so much!

Absolutely stunning
Love this! Looks like a tapir and I love those animals <3
That looks so cool
Thanks Donna!
a portent for sure--but of what?
Not sure that we should ask....
You see an Aardvark Moon. I see an Orange Rat with No Tail Moon.
Iโd love to repost this on Facebook if I have your permission & your name for credit.
No problem! Thanks for asking!
So? Daveโs Photos for credit?
I think that would work!
Ok thanks!
The Aardvark Moon appears only once every 5,000 years.
