When you hear "Once in a Blue Moon" it means that it happens every now or then or rarely. According to modern forklore, a blue moon happens when there is two full moons in a month. This only happens every two to three years or every once in awhile... as the saying goes ~ once in a blue moon. August 2012 was one of these months that we say a blue moon, the first full moon happening on August 1st and the second happened on August 31st. Hopefully you went out to see it as the next full moon doesn't occur until July 31, 2015 (Washington Post).
I went out to take pictures at 5:00 am on August 31st as I had to go into work for the night of August 31st. I also took some pictures in the evening of August 30 and the morning (0700h) September 1st.
