Wolf Moon Rising, 01-07-2026
Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. Happy New Year! The first pictures of the new year, the first full moon of the year, the Wolf Moon, which is also known as “Canada Goose Moon”, “Greetings Moon”, and a favorite of mine, “Frost Exploding Moon”.
This year, I shot the moon rising from our driveway in order to avoid the big juniper trees on the property. It was a magnificent sight to behold.
When it first appeared behind the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
The sunlight on the clouds disappeared fast.
Here’s a post of the wolf moon rising and setting in January 2021 on a photo shoot with my friend John W.
The Super-Wolf Moon eclipse, in the crystal clear skies, San Cristobal, New Mexico, in 2019.
And a favorite photo of mine from 2022.
Here’s more on the moons and their names throughout the year.
I hope you saw it from where you are.
If you’re interested in joining me on a photo adventure this year, I’m booking dates now through the end of the year and beyond.
As always, thanks for looking. It’s a great pleasure for me to share my work with you, and I’m honored to have you join me.
