strawberry moon
Summer's first fullness
The strawberry moon is the full moon occurring in June, named in North American tradition for the season when wild strawberries ripen.
Like other folk names for full moons—harvest moon, wolf moon—it reflects agricultural and seasonal rhythms rather than any change in the moon's appearance.
We stayed up late to watch the strawberry moon rise.
