Glad you saw it

The "strawberry" moon has given me a raspberry here - solid cloud 

Never mind - the next one is the "loganberry" moon, or possibly the "kumquat"

Found this on an American site. 😁

“The Strawberry Moon rang in the summer solstice. Now, as we get closer to September's fall equinox, we have a different "fruit" in the sky. Tonight, the Blueberry Moon, this month's full moon, will shine bright. According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, Native American tribes named the full moons after corresponding fertile crops as a way to mark the seasons throughout the year. “
