Monday night we celebrated the biggest and brightest full moon of the year, the fourth full moon. In Western culture it is called Pink Moon. In Chinese culture, it is called Peach Moon.
The peach tree is one of the most planted easy growing trees in our backyard here in Los Alamos. Peach trees greet us with beautiful pink blooms in early spring and reward us with sweet juicy fruits throughout autumn.

Eurasian Collared-Doves Lifting Spirits In White Rock

Introduced accidentally into the Bahamas in 1974, it soon spread to the Florida mainland. Its expansion westward and northward from there since the 1980s has been remarkable, and the species is now common to abundant across much of North America, as far northwest as Oregon and Washington.
