My granddaughter's photo of last night's Thunder Moon (Omaha, NE)

snip from nationalworld.com:
According to the Maine Farmer's Almanac - which first published the Native American names for the full Moons in the 1930's - the name comes from the Algonquin tribes of what is now the northeastern United States.
They called this full moon the Buck Moon as early summer is normally when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur.
They also called the July full moon the Thunder Moon, because of early summer's frequent thunderstorms.
