Finally, a handful of seasonings (cilantro, paprika, cumin...), along with a quick grilling, give our new South...

Strawberry Supermoon Over Maryland This Week This week's full moon will appear bigger and brighter than usual — and worth getting outside to check out.  It's a supermoon, and it rises around 8 p.m. Eastern Time over Maryland. The June full moon is also known as the full strawberry moon because this is the time of year that strawberries ripen. We had a good view of the moon on Monday night but it was too cloudy to see it on Tuesday night. I hope we will be able to see it again tonight.  Orchids, Conservatory Display, Longwood Gardens,Kennett Square, Pennsylvania USA IMG 1335Canon PowerShot G11 CameraPhotograph by Roy KelleyRoy and Dolores Kelley Photographs
